Human Urine for Compost, Start to Finish

admin — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 23:38:17 +0000

Urine adds Nitrogen and Water to your compost. Easy. Free (actually it SAVES money by avoiding wasteful flushing of your toilet). Clean (human urine is sterile, unless you have a UTI (urinary tract infection, during which you should probably flush it down your toilet). Think of the millions of gallons of water that cities could save if citizens avoided the wasteful flushing. Meanwhile, it helps microoranisms make compost into great soil. My motto: “Urine may look YELLOW, but it’s environmentally GREEN!”

Urine Composting: Compost your Pee

admin — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:50:49 +0000

Human urine is a great, natural, free source of Nitrogen for your soil or compost.
Flushing your urine after each pee, would waste thousands of gallons of water per year at home. Then, your valuable urine is not only lost, but it goes to a chemical waste center where they must use chemicals on all that water you flushed, since within the sewage pipes it has all gotten mixed with stool.
To minimize the water shortages seen in so many communities, an easy way to save water is by NOT flushing away your urine. Using it for your compost or garden is an extra benefit. (If you just let it sit in the toilet bowel until you have a bowel movement, then the urine can start to smell up your bathroom, and your garden or compost would be missing out on a great source of liquid nitrogen.)

Try it…. it is much easier, cleaner, and normal than you might think.
