A lot of rot?

I was reading an interesting article about the properties of urine in the process of decomposition.

Apparently, gardeners at Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire are urging people to try 'peeing' on their green waste because it is good for the environment. The proprties in urine are meant to stimulate the rotting process and it saves water too (i.e. you don't need to flush the WC).

As a child, emptying one's bladder on the compost heap was part and parcel of growing up. Nowadays, however, you would probably be summonsed on charges of indecent exposure or anti-social behaviour...
