Can urine be used in composting?
Answer -
Hello Bill

I need a Reply from you..Is it Human Urine that you are reffering to?

Thanks
 Greg
Yes, I am refering to human urine.

Answer
Hello Again Bill

Recent studies have concluded that Human Urine contains enough Nitrogen to be an effective compost activator. Relative to Animal Urines, it is less disease free and less likely to lose potency. The only downside, if you want to call it one, is Public Perception. Urine of Sick people should be avoided.

I hope this Helps answer your question

The Best of Luck
