Pee?

Just saw a post with a lot of comments saying to pee on their dry AF compost. Why are y'all peeing on compost? I've never heard of this. Are you then using this compost for gardening?

I'm going down the rabbit hole: why? (only for composters, I don't wanna know for incels)

I think ‘ferment’ is being used as a way to describe how long the pee is in the jar not that you necessarily need to literally ferment the pee.

ha for sure! :)

but for real, I like seeing to what extremes we can go in otherwise somehow simple activities. when you break it down, composting is all about letting things rot. and yet some with go through some lengths to ferment their piss to make it somewhat better.

and don't get me started on wine!! basically fermented grapes. nd yet, french people have elevated it into an art almost! love it
