I don't often LOL at catalogue e-mails, but this part of the 'Dobies of Devon' (seeds for the discerning gardner type) mail had me snorting into my Typhoo this afternoon as I read it...
And I'm pretty sure they're talking about the menfolk here becasue I'd imagine if the lady of the house was caught with her pants down over her compost heap, there'd be a whole new meaning to the "Neighbourhood Watch".
PEE TO HELP YOUR GARDEN GROW
Most of us know all about the benefits of composting, and many of us are aware that urine can help to speed up the composting process. Now a National Trust property in Cambridgeshire have taken this to its logical conclusion and are urging people to relieve themselves outdoors to help gardens grow greener. Head gardener Philip Whaites is urging his male colleagues to pee on the straw bale to activate the composting process on the estate's compost heap. He said the "pee bale" is only in use out of visitor hours, since "we don't want to scare the public". Indeed. Read more, if you wish, on the BBC site. On a similar note, the Daily Mail reports that tomato growers can enrich the soil and therefore their plants using their own wee. Must be something in the water.
Garbage?
No - LOLage!

reckon the 'white van man' who's just pee'd in the bushes across the road from me, has read this article and is making his own compost heap on public land. I got the kids to stand at the window and stare when he got back into his van. What is is with men. Have they no control over their bladder. I would wait for hours rather than do it in public - that is unless i was in hospital(did you read my email? he he)
What have we sunk to? And what is it with men and their cavemen mentality to pee outside. I'm with NYLAREHC and I'd rather hold it until the urine backed up to my eyeballs.
I know, we're just a cut above the guys aren't weeee?
Although I had less fear when I was young on the 6 hour trip to Dorset when mum used to stand watch whilst I peed in a field of choice en route.
