Its a bit like using sulphate of ammonia as either a fertiliser or a weedkiller depending on the application rate!

We have a bucket at the farm with a lid. We put a bit of straw in the bottom, the kids wee in it, which gets covered with straw and the lid replaced - when the bucket is full it goes on the compost. We grownups are a bit shy of doing it in the open, so we just cross our legs
(It doesn't smell - that's what the straw is for...)

Joseph Jenkins ("the humanure man") is a minor hero of mine, but the above is pretty much as far as it goes for me!
