Bad idea. Ever wonder why we see E. coli and other pathogens on lettuce and other green food crops? Water reclamation done poorly.

Tree farms for years have taken bio solids and applied it to the soils and municipalities here sell or sometimes gives it away to home gardeners. They always tell you NOT to use it on vegetable soils.

Animal manure, especially horse, works great when mixed into compost, but human waste was tried and abandoned years ago, due to the piles not heating-up to 160°F, and not destroying the many harmful pathogens and chemicals. Yet the "migrant labor" who tend and pick veg crops, pee & poop on the fields and lettuce, celery etc get contaminated, which gets washed, but not efficiently, and then passed on to consumers. Chipolte, Jimmy John's and others have had outbreaks from processed lettuce and other vegs.

One of the reasons the Chinese have such a problem with outbreaks of various diseases is that they use human excrement on their fields.

There’s actually been a couple of recent studies that indicate that Covid is transmitted by the fecal-oral route. Apparently bat viruses are transmitted this way and there is ample evidence of it being spread to other susceptible species through bat feces, and then on through the feces of these other animals, including humans.

In other words, the only worthwhile thing they told us to do was that we should wash our hands frequently and not touch our faces.

Not just that, but it'll kill the plants, too. Peeing once or twice won;t hurt it, but constantly peeing on them will burn them from too much concentrated stuff, it needs to be diluted. Ever wonder why your dogs make brown dead patches in the yard? It's where they pee - without getting rinsed and diluted into the soil, urea will kill your plants, not help them!
