OK, I just received my compost thermometer. My compost pile is a rather
lethargic sub 80% (Fahrenheit). A while back I added some alfalfa pellets,
but
clearly this wasn't enough. Could I expect to see any appreciable increases
in
temperatures (potatoes be damned :-)) by adding urine? I might be able to get
away with this.
