Is it not true that male pee is better for the compost than female pee ..... Something to do with hormones I think

please does someone know this as my husband refuses to pee on the compost or into a bottle so I will have to do this myself.

But lots of females wee on theirs, so use whatever you can get hold of, I would say.

I've just received a tip from an old boy on an allotment.

He said that you can keep cats off a patch of your garden if you get a man to pee in a circle around the patch. :rotfl:

I have read somewhere that pee kills moss on lawns, i presume if you soil is acidic then male urine could be good for this. Has anyone got any thoughts on this

Apparently it also works for keeping out foxes as well!

And neighbours, especially if you tell them what you are doing.... even better if you do it with them watching

I remember years ago being told that archaelogists look out for stinging nettles on sites as they are a sign of human urine in the ground

I'm not sure that's completely correct. If it is, then most of my orchard was one huge urinal!

However, I think it is true that sites of waste dumps - the old equivalent of our recycling centres - are often indicated by the presence of a nettle beds in otherwise weed-free fields.
