This is stupid.

Uric acid kills plants.

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

You don't want uric acid in your body. That causes gout. Birds have uric acid instead of urine.

Exactly. Urea and uric acid are quite different.

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

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

I have deep green spots on my lawn where my dog pees.

That’s about all the fertilizer it gets, my dog and the deer.

human urine is loaded with nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium. You have to water with regular water in a 5 to 1 rotation so you don’t nitrogen burn your plants. And grass is not a good indicator the other kind of “grass” absolutely thrives on human urine.

I know a guy who saves his piss in jugs and uses it as organic weed killer.

Uric Acid-Urea is a powerful fertilizer. The reason it turns yellow where a dog pees is the concentration is too strong. Urine needs to be diluted 10 to 1 with water. Urine is 17% nitrogen on average. NPK is fairly stable in Urine.
We have done the research and in the Gardening Forums. Pour the urine in a 25 gallon trailer sprayer, add water accordingly and apply using a drip boom. I fertilized a sloped area of grass that has always been poor and now it is dark green and growing better than ever. In previous yrs I have applied 10-10-10 will little effect.
Yes I have applied to garden areas also. Wife and I are both Master Gardeners and grow extensive gardens.
