Mens pee is best for not making the soil/compost acidic, womens will. I’ve always wanted one of those earth toilets in the garden, think of the water saving.
I suppose those marathon cyclists must pee whilst cycling or do they have pit/pee stops along the way.

Compost toilets are easy enough to install, even in cities. Peeing in the garden and in compost piles is helpful. I've not used it in my sealed compost bins as they are quite soggy anyway, but it would be interesting to see what happens.
Fifty five years on I can still hear in my head the words of Ron Hesketh, my geography teacher. “Never eat lettuces in Belgium, boys. They use night soil for fertiliser.”
The best composting toilet i've used is at Corrour Bothy in the Cairngorms. It is adjacent to one end of the bothy, but is up around a 10ft scramble over round boulders due to the bothy being on a slope. In winter, you often need crampons to reach it if it is iced up. It must have the best view from any toilet i have ever used, if you leave the door open.

I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
That sentence could so easily have gone off in another direction
