The New York Times tried to inject a silver lining into the fertilizer shortage gripping American farmers by telling them to use pee as a substitute to help foster a so-called green transition.
Times climate journalist Catrin Einhorn belched in an absurd news item that the worldwide “shortage of chemical fertilizer” she blamed on “the war in Ukraine” can potentially be solved by human urine. “It just so happens that human urine has the very nutrients that crops need,” she claimed, praising how urine “has a lot more [nutrients], in fact, than Number Two, with almost none of the pathogens.”
Einhorn then dismissed the utility of chemical fertilizer because it doesn’t mix with climate wokeism. “Farmers typically apply those nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium — to crops in the form of chemical fertilizers,” she wrote. “But that comes with a high environmental cost from fossil fuels and mining.” Einhorn quoted Rich Earth Institute Education Coordinator Julia Cavvichi using a cringe pun, which ironically summed up the silliness of Einhorn’s entire piece: “‘Hashtag PeeTheChange.’”

So if I don't go out and piss on my tomato plants I could
be accused of vegetable gardening using 'ecologically hostile' methods?
So be it.
I'll change my FR screen name to: EHOVG -
- the "Ecologically Hostile Organic Vegetable Gardener'.
Sound about right?

Hmmm. Any relation to Earth Day founder and murderer Ira Einhorn?
Brawndo’s got what plants crave
Most of the country is on some form of prescription drugs, traces of which may come out in urine. Hence a urine test for drugs.

If u fert with pee, it has to cure for a week or more... then it’s really ripe.
Worse than fish emulsion.
According to Yahoo News, in 2014 Kim Jong-un instructed farmers to mix human feces with animal waste and organic compost to make fertilizer for their fields. Yahoo notes, “With a lack of livestock to provide animal fertilizer, agriculturists poured the human excrement, also known as ‘night soil,’ on their fields.”
Choi Min-Ho, a professor at Seoul National University College of Medicine who specializes in parasites, told Reuters, “Although we do not have solid figures showing health conditions of North Korea, medical experts assume that parasite infection problems and serious health issues have been prevalent in the country.”
One North Korean army staff sergeant who escaped to South Korea was found to have dozens of flesh colored parasites in his digestive tract; one was 10.6 inches in length. Lead surgeon Lee Cook-jong stated, “In my over 20 year-long career as a surgeon, I have only seen something like this in a textbook.”
Human and animal waste was used fertilizer rom the start of the Neolithic Revolution. The population supported by this source of nitrogen was a fraction of the current population. In other words, the elimination of modern fertilizers will mean billions will starve
It used to be the urea that was a by-product of the meat packing plants that was made into fertilizer...along with bones.
There is that other source of fertilizer...bones.
Picking my tomatos and canning them since last week.
BTW, keep pissing on the same plant for a while and see what happens.
It will kill even a goat head vine.
Libtards finally admitting what we already knew - they’re pissing all over us 🤪
This just in, silly chick from New York has never seen the size of farm fields in western Kansas.
Finally, a solid career path for illegals as farm fertilizers.
A wicked pissah!
Enslaved African kid in some horrible mountaintop dump: “I’m digging up your battery minerals as fast as I can, American leftists!”
I suggest farmers treat NYC like California treats red states. Forbid any crops from being shipped there because of the stupid opinion of the NY Times. Punish the whole city for keeping the stupid paper in business.
“Now get up there and piss in the g*ddamn radiator!” — old reference
DANG!
