  • 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.

  • 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???

  • @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.

  • Very cool, thanks for sharing!

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

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

  • waay too much work.

  • 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?

  • 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! 

  • sick of this fucking Nissan Ad....

  • @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
