Please don't dispose of the wipes in the toilet! My DS and DIL were doing this and it caused a clog in the plumbing which flooded their family room (split-level) and ruined the carpet. Just a warning!

I can't imagine anyone flushing a piece of cloth down the toilet! I was referring to wipes made of cloth, that are meant to be rinsed after use and then laundered.

I am not at that stage yet. Aging urine can reek even if it is diluted. Straight urine will kill your plants in addition to smelling bad after awhile.

Yeah, I think you're supposed to keep it sealed up. At least, I would HOPE so!

Does anyone have a reciept for miracle grow? I understand that it has urine, beer, epson salts, and other stuff.

The simplest thing is to pee onto the compost pile. This is especially useful if it is biased towards 'browns' (hi-C low-N stuff), which it will be if you put used chicken litter in there. Peeing on the pile helps it compost faster, and you put the result on your garden, presto.

Of course peeing on the compost pile is much more practical for those in the Y chromosome bearing half of the population

Just don't get mad when he does it.

Might as well, I already make my husband pee around the perimeter of the chicken-yard. (Just FYI, while it does appear to deter raccoons, it doesn't so much have an effect on foxes. At least not our foxes.)
