My grandpa swore by peeing on his compost pile every morning for better decomposition

I thought he was messing with me until I tried it for 2 months and the pile broke down twice as fast has anyone else heard of this old trick?

Yeah I tried that last year and noticed a huge difference in my pile too.

Placebo effect is strong with that one.

Funny cause I actually heard on a podcast that some of the stuff they put in those piles can mess with your gut bacteria long term. Not saying it's bad for everyone but @the_thomas might just be one of those people who responds well to anything new lol. Placebo or not, if it works for him that's all that matters really. I've seen enough people try random supplements that do nothing to know the mind is a powerful thing. But hey, if it's working then more power to you both.
