    Long-time compost pee-er, here. I thought pee contains microbes that facilitate composting (in addition to the basic salts).

    I’ve got two compost bins and I’ve always meant to pee on one and pour an equal volume of water on the other to check it’s true.

      I’m not sure about the microbes.

      However since it’s nitrogen rich or needs more carbon (brown stuff) to balance it out. If it smells it needs more carbon.

      I noticed that for my chicken, they have a small backyard area that tend to smell bad, however now that I’ve started to regularly add tree clipping in it the smell is gone.
