Urine for Garden, Composting Urine

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 05:51:02 +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 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.

Kitchen Compost Bin – Advice From a Friend

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 14:19:59 +0000

A kitchen compost bin will come in many different shapes and sizes.Some are store bought and some are home made.

It is a very convenient way to store kitchen waste that would otherwise be headed for the landfill.

The better store bought kind have a charcoal pack in the lid that will absorb odors from food. This is a great help as you really do not want anything in the house that gives off an odor.

I use just a basic stainless steel can with lid but there are types available that have an assortment of designs.

The container can take a few days to fill up but when it is finally time to head to the compost pile, dig down in the pile just a bit and add new material. After it has been added cover it to keep pests out and this will begin the composting process even faster.

After the material is added to the pile you will just need to be patient. There are tumblers that you can buy to speed up the process. Even the fastest tumbler known to man takes about 4 or 5 weeks to work.

If your not in a major hurry a pile on the ground will work just fine. Pick an out of the way spot. Composting material does not smell but it can be hard to look at.

Kitchen is generally thought of as green matter or nitrogen material. You will also need to add some brown matter or carbon material.

Brown matter will be the things outside like dried leaves, pine needles, sawdust or newspaper items. Just black and white print though, to many chemicals in colors.

Put a little bit more brown material for a good mix but nothing is engraved in stone. Experiment and see what works best for you.
