catgate Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 "Adding a little pee just helps get it all going; it's totally safe and a bit of fun too."Oh what a fun life to be an organic gardener.You can get your own back though....if the wind suddenly changes direction.

-pops- Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 This is an age old system - and it's not only pee that is used.I remember many years ago that a local sewage works would give away the deposits left on their filter beds to any gardener who would come and collect it. My father did and he was noted for prize winning vegetables at the local shows. He also grew superb tomatoes without ever planting a tomato seed (they are resistant to the attacks of the digestive system and the processes of sewage treatment).I recall some 20 years later that a super modern sewage treatment plant was built (opened by HRH Philip)* and they used to sell treated sewage but, by that time, the hygiene Mafia was beginning to have influence and the marketing of a very good fertiliser failed miserably.*Some mean people might say it would have been good to see him dropped in it.
