   Did you know that fertilisers, especially nitrates are made from fossil fuels (by product of gas industry)? How much gets put onto the grass at croke park? Anyone got practical suggestions to reduce them?

   Hi Buzz,
   The guys that look after pitch at Croke Park are busy with the upcoming rugby and soccer games (three over next two weeks) - I've been told they'll let me know asap,

   Urine is an extremely good fertiliser. If left uncontaminated by solid and chemical waste, it can be diluted with water and added straight to the soil. Another benefit would be that the energy requirement and therefore cost of sewage processing could be reduced.

   Oh and the cost of the water to deal with the sewage might be reduced

   82,000 on match day would generate alot of urine ;)

   Well, I don't think the players on the grass would like that idea too much....
   but using it for plants at home some people might give it a try!

   I think it's too complicated. It's much easier to use water - just turn on the tap.
