Urine

I know it's not a nice subject, but I have heard it so many times, has anyone
used their own to feed plants? I know it has to be diluted, what is a good
ratio?

Can male and female be used, and can they be mixed

 

I just pee in the compost pin,i don't know what the dilute ratio is,
I have heard that the Female pee is stronger that Males as Males are always marking there territory

 

Yes, have been know to put it on the compost heap.

Not sure I'd like to put it directly on veg, or pot plants, even diluted, it could start to pong a bit.

 

25% Urine, 25% Comfrey water, 25% Seaweed water and 25% Nettle water will keep unwanted visitors away from your plot (and surrounding plots and in summer possibly even the adjacent road). If that doesn't work chuck some horse poo in and hang mesh bags of cabbage leaves/gone to seed lettuce in it.

 

Wish you could speak to hubby about this.

He has known for years of the value of urine - so was trained to "water" the compost bins.
But this year he has taken to watering the fruit trees... Fortunately, we are not overlooked much, and the fruit trees are at the far side of the garden. To be honest, I cannot notice any odour, but seeing as we have foxes - maybe he is deterring them a little?, and our own dogs, that doesn't really say much. Do you think the fruit trees would prefer he went down the garden to the compost bays?

 

I'm not sure I ought to start squatting on the top of the compost bins they are tucked away in the front garden but knowing my luck id probably be caught by the postman or a local dog walker!

 

I used to collect and dilute urine and put it on my flower beds when I lived overseas. Obvs. more difficult to water the garden this way if a girlie, but definately the plants grew very well.

You could always put a bit of food colouring in it (blue, like plant food) if you are overlooked in the garden!

 

I have a portaloo in the allotment shed like one of those you use when camping. I pour it on the compost heap as & when I can

 

Bout time us girlies got shewees!!!
We could pee on the compost no problem then
