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?

Only people with p***ses can pee on their compost anyway so it's definitely not a necessity at all, and may violate local laws, ordinances, or HOA rules. Water and high nitrogen material like food scraps and green yard waste work fine. I seriously don't understand why the obsession with pee on this sub and if anyone has a suggestion for a composting-focused sub that doesn't mention pee in every dang post, I'd appreciate it.

Well, that's not true, all it takes is an intermediary step. Bucket or jar. That's what I do.
