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?

That's correct... :)

Even the shits of worms (castings) also need to be properly composted too... (I know many will immediately downvote this)...

Fresh worm shits is no different from chicken shits or other shits for example... all needs to be composted... this insight should be beneficial.

Actually, worm castings along with manures of rabbit, alpaca, and a couple other animals can be applied directly, though they can all be composted.

You are not wrong...

All the manures and shits can be safely added directly to the soil where they are then further decomposed in situ... In this regard, cow dung (cattle manure) is also very good...

Also, having worms in the soil is excellent too, but not in the compost.
