Dump it on deer scrapes to keep them coming back.

I'm assuming that you meant to write, "...to keep them from coming back.

Regards,

Speaking of pee.....

Bob was driving along a desolate country backroad when he ran out of gas...
he got out of his car and found he had no can in the trunk to get gas...It was miles to a station...

All of a sudden a bee buzzed by his head...It landed on his shoulder and Bob heard the bee ask him “Have you got trouble?”

Bob looked at the bee and said “I’m out of gas...”

The bee said just open the cap and wait a minute...The bee took off...Bob opened the gas cap and within a few seconds, the bee came buzzing back with hundreds of bees following...

They flew into the tank and in a minute, they all flew back out....

The bee landed on Bob’s shoulder again and said “Try it now...”

Bob got in the car and it cranked right up...

Bob said “how did you do that? What did you do???”

The bee grinned and said “BP”

No silly, you compost it. https://humanurehandbook.com/

Guy in PA has been composting his solid waste and using it in his garden for 30+ years.

I would have a doubts doing that even if tshtf.

Just saying.

Human piss is the best deer attractant for scrapes you can get.

Just store it in a gal jug for a couple days first. Drives the bucks wild. I’ve been using it for over 50 years.

Exactly. Urea and uric acid are quite different.

Organic farming didn’t work out too well for the Sri Lankans.

Or save it; buy Charcoal and Sulfur. Use it to make gunpowder.

(Milwaukee takes their sludge and turns it into Milorganite which they then sell. Who knows what they collect in the Milwaukee Sewers!)

Many years ago, one of my friends lived near a sewage treatment plant. There were excellent tomatoes growing all over the sludge piles all summer.

Of course we washed them very thoroughly.

Grass that has turned yellow dead.

Pee has lots of nitrogen, a key plant nutrient. Best use is in your compost pile.

I expected all of the childish jokes and reflexive (i.e. uninformed ) comments about how disgusting this is, etc. The simple fact is that we flush a valuable resource down the toilet several times a day, And end up using chemical fertilizers or nothing at all. There is an intelligent and mature way to approach this.

“Go look at the brown spots on your lawn wherever your dog urinates.”

Dog urine is more concentrated in a spot. Fertilizer burn.
