Thanks for that info definitely worth a try.

It is best applied in small doses diluted at about 1:3 . There is a greater risk of overdosing than under . Depending on the plant or the soil the dosage needs to be determined but 3 doses before flowering of the plant should be more than enough .

People have told me that one liter sea water to 4 parts urine gives MgNH4PO4.6H2O as the urea turns to ammonia. This Precipitates as a white powder which is the fertilizer. Perhaps it works in coastal areas?

You get the Potash from the seawater and the ammonia from the urine.
