Free Organic, Liquid Fertilizer - but don’t piss in the garden…
By DanP | June 1, 2008
Organic liquid fertilizer for the garden, lovely, and it just so happens that urine is a perfect nitrogen source, and its free! I would not recommend that you go pissing around in the garden though. Not only might your neighbors report you to neighborhood watch, this is not really the proper method of applying the urine to the garden.
Assuming your urinary tract is not infected, urine is considered extremely clean. Ok, so how to apply the urine to the garden? First, dilute it: 5 parts water to 1 part urine. Undiluted urine is too strong, so be sure to first piss in the can and dilute. Be sure to only use fresh urine; do not let it sit as it will stink as the composition changes from nitrogen to ammonia. Lastly, spread it around the garden avoiding the leaves.
