Yes, another great year at Merlefest!

Dogs don't spread it out. Same problem if you dumped a bag a fertilizer on your lawn in one spot.

Is dog urine, the stuff that kills grass, significantly different from human urine?

I never saw where urine killed plants.

Have stored it in plastic 55 gallon drums but that takes up room in a heated building. You can add powder sugar. Some say aged is better but I have no idea why.

This winter I'm testing a 55 gallon drum outside, after the temp stays below freezing, to see if the barrel will survive the winter by just adding small amount to it every day.

I also apply it to a large pile of chopped weeds during the winter.

I was doing some research for something I'm writing and ran into this. Don't have the time to read all of it but some might find interest in it.

And no I do not grow or smoke the stuff but I'm willing to learn from anybody...

Maybe burn it but it might be too wet....

I don't know exactly what I should do with the stuff that's left..normally I leave it to compost into the field but if it has some sort of weird chemical in it that seems like a poor idea.

Sounds doable.

In regards to the ditch. Maybe wood could be used. Slab wood could be edged for the bottom. Should last 5 to 10 years. When it gets too far gone fill it in some with more wood and cover with dirt from the new ditch next to it, Hugelkultur.

Just a hair brained idea.....
