Having not got even one reply from my last serious posting(broad beans)I will try something else.
When adding urine to a compost heap is it advisable to dilute it, "or serve it neat".Interesting to see if this topic gets more replys.

I use it "as it comes". You could dilute depending on how dry the compost materials are. The net result will be the same, I'm sure.
Hope you get serious replies this time.

Yes he did, Johnboy! Its called water and drinking a couple of pints of it will soon dilute the yellow stuff.

I thought adamant was what you read when used a public place instead of the compost heap.

Hello JB
Its not 'adamant' that you need but Adam's Ale!

I don;t like Ale. Perhaps I should hire a prince charmin' to drink it and activate my compost heap.

Just search the forum for "liqued gold".

You might just see Chantal's name pop up. :roll: :twisted: :oops:

Going on from the liquid gold, in the Gold Rush one of the plants that the miners ate was miners lettuce alias montia (claytonia) perfoliata. We grow it for winter salading which has now finished but it has a habit of shedding seeds everywhere if you leave it in too long. This year it carpeted one of our tunnels, mixed up with chickweed and we had to clear them which gave us a surprising amount of greenstuff to put into the compost heap to mix with the drier rabbit bedding. In my opinion this is far more useful than my meagre offerings could be but we will put both in.

Hi Multiveg - I got the 'pun' maybe the best way to use the urine would be to just "stand and deliver" :D :D
