the smell?

[headfullofbees]

I think that one is a lot easier for men. lol I'm going to skip that part, especially as my garden is in the side yard and very visible from the street

You COULD actually "go" into a gazunder, or similar receptacle, and pour it from there.
I wee into my compost heap, that's why I put it directly below my bedroom window,

Excellent suggestion. Does double duty, helps the compost pile and repels burgulars

I learn something new every day. Today I will delve into just what a gazunder is! lol.

Ok, I'm going to be lazy here, what does the urine do to contribute to the compost pile? Does it just get things decomposing faster?

Yes, it helps start composting by adding acids. Something else about human urine. If you add 2 tablespoons of bloodmeal to a quart of urine it acts as a great deer repellant. As for a gazunder I haven't a clue either

Thanks for the info.. I, as far as I know, have no gazunder but I do have a suitable container and as I've had my coffee, I'll make a preparation for my composts None of my neighbors will know what I am watering it with.

Ok, compost additive taken care of. I tried to get my son to take care of it but he said no way, not with the nosy neighbor we have. So I had to do it myself. Is this something I should do often? This was never covered in any of my gardening books!!

My day just got long enough to get my chores done. When I went out to enhance my garden I found out it's pouring out.

Word of advise. Don't get distracted and use the wrong coffee cup

Urine contributes fast nitrogen.

The term "gazunder" refers to by-gone days, when people had no internal plumbing, and urinating after bedtime meant either a trudge outside in the cold, or sleeping in the "wet spot".

In the middle ages, a bright spark decided that a large bowl type cup, known as a chamber pot, was the answer.

It gazunder the bed.

Hahaha! Yall crack me up!
Maybe peeing out there will double as claiming the yard back from the dog. That brat has been pulling up everything we plant

No messing around here then, an express elevator straight to the compost heap

We had this when I little but we called it an outhouse and ours was a 2 holer. My uncle had a larger family and had a more modern 4 holer complete with a Sears catalogue and a TP holder. Sometimes it even had a roll of paper on it.

Paper? Luxury Seed catalogues are nice and soft

What I did to combat the smell was get a black composting bin and just keep it as far away from the house as I could. I then drilled a couple holes in it near the top to keep the smell flowing. Look into it

It still has to drain or it will become anerobic. It needs to be moist. It shouldn't have an unpleasent odor at all

You guys are so funny.. I don't use a coffee cup for my gazunder, with my memory I would grab the wrong cup! compost pile outside your bedroom... Men have it too easy!

But I shouldn't complain. My husband dug up about 40 x 5' of garden last night for me. Usually I don't have to do that but since the snow and ice came before we got the black plastic over most of the garden, the leaves and grass didn't compost, they just froze.
