This keeps deer away too!

I hate that I know that.

I'm 8 beers in. I've already got it pre-mixed and ready to go. No need for water.

My family that lives out in the country has cesspools on their property. The grass and trees are the healthiest plants on the place. In fact, a couple times the trees have torn up sewer mains to the cesspool trying to get at the waste.

But yes, Urine has no microbes in it when it comes out of your body. It's excess electrolytes and water. There's other chemicals in there too like Urea and Ammonia.

Which brings a good point, Farmers still use Anyhydrous ammonia to fertilize their fields prior to planting.

And I shall never eat cabbage again.

Depends on what's in the urine and how sensitive the plant is. To go to poop for a second, chicken poop is chock-full of nitrogen and a fantastic fertilizer, but if you let the chickens wander around the same part of your yard for a couple months, they'll kill all the grass ... from nitrogen burn.

Urine works the same way. Different species with different diets and digestive systems have different urine chemical makeup. And then it depends on concentration, repetition, etc.

I guess what I'm saying is for plants that aren't picky (like your lawn) this would work great. I wouldn't necessarily rely on it for fruit plants.

And remember, urine comes out of your body sterile. The bacteria it picks up along the way are what make it "not sterile." To solve this, freeze your pee for long-term storage. I suggest two (double-bagged) ziploc freezer bags.

Let me get this straight. I have to wash my hands after urinating in public bathrooms but I can pee on my garden cabbage and serve it to guests?

This is the same science as using fistank water to water your plants. The waste products and ooky bits are wonderful for plants. As for the dog spots, if you wanted to be vigilant, you could follow your dog around and water the spots where he did his business to dilute the urine, and the lawn would love it. Of course, living in Georgia, the drought means I have no grass, and the dog pee matters not.

In other news, a recent study conculeded that taking a dump on a plant is even better for it than peeing on it. Findings show that this benefit is doubled if it is a houseplant.

@ BelBivDevolkswagen: Pee is good for plants and yet public urination is still illegal...

You try walking around a New York City street in the middle of August and wonder about that...

Pee is good for plants and yet public urination is still illegal...

I don't think a one-time pee on one spot will kill the grass. My dog uses the same two spots all the time, so the nitrogen buildup in that area is what kills the grass.

i wonder if it makes a difference if you on meds?

I know canine urine isn't good for grass. There's a spot in my parents' yard where the dogs always pee and the grass is either yellow or completely dead there.

I grew up in the country where septic tanks were common,and if you per chance didn't know where the tank was in your yard, you could just look for where the grass was the most green and lush. I think it was Erma Bombeck that said "The grass is always greenest over the septic tank."

i should start diluting and bottling my urine before someone else beats me to it and makes a million.

hmm. chong was right

So, I guess the dead spots on the lawn where dogs have peed would not be there if the urine was diluted? Is this universal for most plants?

Soooo.....

If you eat asparagus, and then go outside and pee on the asparagus in the garden...

What will the next batch of asparagus do?
