G Word-Urine as Fertilizer

[dotalessons]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

[azzy314159]

I can watch this instead of going to the xxx pee site. all very erogenic

[azzy314159]

I don't know about fertilizers but I have used pee as battery water in a pinch.

[ZennLa13]

waay too much work.

[deasttn]

Let me see, if you add all those chemicals to the urine, you don't have to add chemicals to your plants? Why not skip all the middle steps and just add the chemicals to your plants and save the urine for the compost pile?

[Tommyr]

That's a lot of extra work that is not needed. Fresh, diluted urine is just fine in the garden. Full strength on the compost heap!

[quizmark]

sick of this fucking Nissan Ad....

[SuperChristopherZ]

I not only like this as proof that some humans are smart but that other people are even more smart like below. Simpler is better and complex i intresting.Cheers CAC

[FishyMoe]

I got a better idea. Make compost tea (aka compost in water) add urine, add a fish tank bubbler, oxygenate overnight and viola - super nutrient rich, water retention enhancing fertilizer.

[dafranx]

@FishyMoe That's a beautiful idea I fell in love with: make a compost tea. I had no idea plants need their own tea, and composts exist in tea form. I'll do plenty of researches about "Compost Tea" by gathering many sources about it. Now, I wish to know what advantages compost tea has over plain compost.

[best333WillC]

I just pee on my compost bin.

[samsagas]

what materials were used?

piss and wath else?

[fatturdburger]

Pointless, just piss in the garden sunflowers love neat piss.

[zoomerlawns]

I put poop in jars and keep them in the attic.

For good book on the simple beauty of human composting, see Humanure by Jenkins Publishing. He has at least two good chapters on the bacteria and the breakdown of various substances, even toxins and radiation. He has a lot of science in it. Great book. But his is the simplest method ever.

[sgsilver]

You actually don't need to do any of this. Just use fresh urine and dilute it with water (about 1:5 to 1:10) and use it directly in your garden. Or you can use the pure urine in your compost bin.

[homobohemicus]

@sgsilver Exactly.. all the above process is not neede.. just dilute 1:10 or if youre worried the plants young leaves would burn then 1:15 .. pee..pour and enjoy

[superbals]

I'm sorry maybe is just me but this seems to be the stupidest most pointless think i've ever seen....

[ravcey]

Damn I'm gonna do it, as soon as I get the ingredients ! !

[Dragonmother52]

Yes, hippie and proud of it. Just dilute urine with water, it grows anything well. The good bacteria in teh soil will free the urea, just like in nature...go figure!!!!

[agrajag46]

It's hard to see how this is "green".

Nitrifying bacteria in the soil can convert the ammonium in the (diluted) urine to nitrates so it's useful to plants. As a bonus, using strait diluted urine is actually green.

[realberserker]

I'm a little unclear - what's wrong with biofiltering the urine (ie; pouring it onto potted plants)? Doesn't that avoid a lot of chemicals and "waste" liquid?

[SpeedVideoz]

Its best if 1/6th of Urine is mixed with 5/6 of water and it works fine

[paleotechnics]

No thanks! This is extra work and uses some industrially produced chemicals. For thriving garden: dilute urine and put on plants or pee on the ground around trees. It also ignores the abundant and very beneficial trace mineral content of urine. Most of the plant macro and micro-nutrients leaving the body are passed in urine, so saving it to use on plants can mostly close the nutrient cycle without the less safe/ hi maintenance compost toliets. Hey authors, please explain the advantages???

[shannonnorfolk]

Just dilute it with water 5-1 and pour it on your trees- the soil bacteria makes the nitrogen available to the plants. So much "techno green" babble is simply a solution looking for a problem.

[squirrelbong]

lol "green" chemical fertilizer? umm, maybe just have a video on organic fertilizers?

also human urine CAN be used as a readily available source of nitrogen for plants. it doesn't need to be "processed" like this, just diluted. but that's only N and not a complete fertilizer like they attempted to make here.

[spitgalore]

Why can't urine be used "as is"? Human liquid waste can't be more harmful to the growing of vegetation, since it has come from living human tissues. Thanks for sharing.

[bmed19]

the nitrogen from urea must be freed for the plants to use it.

And like u said urine prolly isnt harmful to plants but when u think of it urine is toxic to humans, which is why we get rid of it

[FloralWhite88]

@bmed19 urine is not toxic...urine is sterile. Plz do some research (or not..lol)

[bmed19]

@FloralWhite88 ...who do u think u are? obv urine is sterile. urine is toxic b/c it containes nitrogen waste compunds that our bodies need to expell. not b/c it contains pathogens. do research? lol. noob

[FloralWhite88]

@bmed19 NO you do your research..it is NOT toxic to humans. And i hope you feel better after your display of immaturity.

[bmed19]

@FloralWhite88 stop telling me to do my research when u got no references to back up ur incorrect claims. and IM immature??? yea prob. it works for me. but i aint the ugly 32 yr old cutting up ppl on utube b/c u have no initiaive or aspritation in life to spend ur time more wisely.

stick ur tongue out, say ah, and dont 4get to swollow

[kokeskokeskokes]

Actually you can. I grew sacred herbs hydroponically (!) using only my raw urine diluted with water.

[ChiefEamonn]

ughhhh... hippies...

[Wisegeorge]

It works best if you fill a big pitcher and keep it in the refrigerator. Don't put sugar and lemon slices in it like I did though, or it will disappear faster than you can make it.
