Compost fires around here all the time with mushroom houses and compost
operations that feed them.

You have houses like this? I thought these were one of a kind -

That's not at all surprising to me. The biology by which fungii break down organic matter to make compost is an exothermic one, and leaves and grass clippings can be a good insulator. So, the heat can build up inside a compost heap until the kindling temperature of dry leaves and grass is reached, and you have a fire on your hands.

That's exactly what happened back in the 50's and 60's when linseed oil based paints were common. The chemical reaction by which drying oils react with oxygen to form a solid is an exothermic one. Since modern alkyd and alkyd based polyurethane paints and "varnishes" use exactly that same chemical reaction, it's important to treat any paper towels or rags used to wipe up alkyd paints and polyurethane "varnishes" as "oily rags" so they don't spontaneously catch fire as well.

Hi,
Few years ago, condo block burned down in the spring. Empty flower pot
containing peatmoss on the balcony was the cause.

My favorite stories when I was doing fire investigations was the Great
Serial Litter Box Arsonist (who wasn't really) and, of course, the time
the swimming pool caught on fire.

Hi,
I really don't know. That was the report from the local media
via FD. Since government reinforced fire code to prevent fire like that.
The fire spread so quick then.

~ 400 years ago Natives in south Louisiana saw "fire on the water".
Likely methane gas pockets. Ignited buy lightening strikes?

Today folks blame burning water on "fracking".

Peat didn't have a pot to pee in. Otherwise he could have put the fire out.

Peat an Repeat ran up a hill. Peat fell down. Who was left over?

So *thats* why my compost bin has it's own California

Funny you mention peeing into the compost pile.

With all this talk about dripping hose nozzles, I decided to test
my theory of the four reasons women *think* miss the toilet ... so ...
I peed on the relocated compost pile for the past couple of days ...

(The wife, for some strange reason, is using my "old" compost pile
to grow stuff - so I have been relegated to the barren wastelands.)
http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13411386.jpg

Lo and behold, everywhere I peed on the new (much more barren) compost
pile, bees flocked.
http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13411388.jpg

It's strange, as there isn't a flower petal within 100 feet!

Yet - strangely - the bees are rooting about as if there is sweet
nectar hidden in them thar hills:
http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13411387.jpg

I wonder what bees like about wet organic compost?

Pete and Re-peat went for a walk. Who was with Pete?

How much peat would a peat pot pee, if a peat pot could pee peat?

Interesting. Very interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
Certainly, I provided supporting evidence for the garden-hose nozzle
theory (aka "why women errantly think men can't aim"), but I hadn't
thought about the sugars.

My original hypothesis was that they're attracted to the smell of
urea, which, I had blindly assumed, was similar to some flowers they
must really like as the one spot in a barren plot that has urine
attracts bees by the beehive!

Judging from the number of ****ed-on toilet seats I've seen in men's room, you
wife is 100% right.

I wonder what this will do to some poor beekeepers honey crop.

That's a thought. He could fill hummingbird feeders?
