I am a secret urine hoarder.
The first time my wife caught me peeing into a bottle instead of the toilet was awkward. I charge my home made biochar with urine and compost/worm poo teas. It thrills me to complete the circle of life in such a simple and effective way.
I had to promise the wife to hide my urea stash from the kids and anyone else really.
I also find my fish tank provides natural fertilised water in great abundance. I do not see myself composting fecal matter anytime soon. though I have great regard for the merit of such persons who do. It is however a bridge too far for me at the moment.
Cheers,
Will
For anyone interested google night soil and check those bananas with a sticker saying grown in Mexico or along the Guat/Hond border...
I hear you on the urine collection, I have been secretly hiding away at times, all urine work is clandestine in Western culture, lol......charcoal and urine though make the outdoor spot look purty....I have about 4 inch layer of duff: charcoal, sawdust, peat, grass clippings, nettle, weeds, etc...the worms eat the fudge out of the duff layer....then the actual soil is down there my O layer, more like a humic A layer really...lots of clay from volcanic sources and sea air not too far away acts like a Xerosol like over in the desert in summer [quick drainage], but is the worst clay in the winter, since we average about 30+ inches of rain during off summer months
...some of the low mountains receive 200+ each year
....Hoping for a good year this years...
