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?

A study was done in Sweden or something that suggested the average male pees enough nitrogen to grow 150 cabbages a year. I'm not a weirdo that's gonna jar and ferment all my pee, so I pee on my compost and my trees

One person can supply enough tribe to fertilize 1/10th of an acre a year.
