Wimpole Hall are trying this out. ??? ???
They want you to pee on a hay bale, which they then add to the compost. :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2:
Ok for the men , but surely the ladies having to sit on the bale to go is a bit unhygenic. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

At the end of that article it also says urinate in the shower to save flushing water.

Disgusting!!!!!  Do these people have no standards.

You mean you don't? I know I do! ::)
As for other people's houses, if you don't want to use the toilet or shower, why not use their sink?  :wub:  :lol:

Using the sink if all the urinals are engaged is considered perfectly Ok in some cultures. I once saw a guy using the sink in a crowded urinal and when I looked a bit askance his mate said, "it's ok he's Austrailian!"

Personally as a chicken keeper i save up all mine to use as fox repellant!  That's my excuse.

Come on Potiron, always thought the French invented castles; haven't you heard of moats?  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

With a little imaginative packaging and lively advertising there could be a market there for someone!

Compost Additive...... Anyone help me out with a catchy slogan? (Take care - Aunty may be tuning in!)

I wonder if the Prince's Trust would agree to a grant to get it started?  :unsure:

 ;) Whatever you do, do not pee on the Christmas tree, especially if there are lights
