Is there no end to this madness?

:o :o >:( >:(

They`re really taking the pith now aren`t they, Nick! ::)

I have always peed on my compost heap, that along with acquiring plenty of worms ensures a lovely compost :y

Why would it not work for women too?? :-?

Well it will make a change from the usual darkened passageway or doorstep! :D :D :D ;) ;)

We've got a compost bin.  It's about 1m tall. 

I can't reach... >:(

Does this explain the smell you get when you open a ready made salad?

Next spring, it will be interesting to see whether the NHS has had to deal with any unusual cases of frostbite.

Not to mention exposure... :)

..and if it gets as windy as they say tomorrow, make sure you stand upwind.  ;) ;D

By the way I do this for good compost not to reduce flushing as I normally have to flush twice for a no 2 anyways ::)

No madness at all Nick, urine is good for compost heaps, and saving water is allways good.

I have done it when noone was looking.

Of course, I'm sure it's fine and dandy for the compost. In essence, I don't have a problem with "natural" organic additives. ;)

Actually, I made an error in the original post. It was the mad headline that I meant to draw attention to. I pasted it along with the first part of the story, then it looked like a duplication, so I cut the headline.

This is the madness:
Urinate on the compost heap to save the planet says the National Trust

To save the planet????
. ;)  :D
