but there is this guy with a garden show on PBS that recommends human urine to discourage pests.

As I recall a couple of years ago several people died or were badly sickened by hepatitis caught in a Mexican restaurant that was traced to raw green onions grown in Mexico that were apparently fertilized with raw human sewage. I suppose that is technically an organic growing technique but it is nasty.

Nasty. We have gray water available for lawns in our neighborhood, but you shouldn't drink it or use it on your food plants. Wash those veggies!
