Aquarium water is good also. Not salt water, the water from your partial water changes in a freshwater tank.

So, don't flush. Pee on a tree! It's good for the environment.

Years ago, we went on a family camping trip. When we stopped at my mom's on our way home, my then three-year-old son raced into Grandma's home to tell her that he got to pee on a tree while we were camping. I guess that was the highlight of his camping trip.

Dump it on deer scrapes to keep them coming back. I save it in gal jugs during deer season.

If you’re going to use it on your plants it has to age a week or more first. Best if aged 2 weeks, and yes...it will smell terrible.

Just my luck - get handcuffed, with my pants on the ground, in the front yard with all sirens blaring. I’ll pass so to speak.

What F**ing idiot came up with this idea? Wanna come by my house and see the dead grass where my small pups created a dead spot?

Uric acid kills plants.

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

Dog pee is not human pee.

Human pee can result in some pretty dark green and lust patches of grass in the yard.

Don’t ask.

You don’t use it directly on plants. You add it to your compost heap. It works superbly as a high potash compost activator. Months later you dig your mature compost into the soil. Gardeners have been doing this for generations.

“””So take a dump in your garden also. The smell should make your neighbors happy.”””


That sounds like a great idea. Besides fertilizing plants it will show the illegals coming across the US border that the USA is just a big a ‘sh!t hole’ as the country they came from and they will turn around and go home.

There is enough acid in fresh urine to kill plants.

NEVER pee directly on them. Store the urine and apply it after it has been sitting for at least a month, in order for the Ph to neutralize.

A buddy only gave his realtor one requirement when looking for his rural home. Pee of the front and back poach without being seen. He’s on 12 acres lined with trees. Realtor got a sale.

I’m on 25 and can pee anywhere I want. Lol.

I built a rabbit cage with a sloped catch bin underneath. Urine and poop pellets were collected and shoveled into a planting area in the yard. Grew a lot of plants that way. But I would never use human pee and poop, nope! The smell is tolerable with rabbit piss, but disgusting to think of handling human piss in a garden.

I gave a couple of seedlings a little dose of 10% strength urine. Greened them right up. When I put everything in the garden, I used aged chicken and goat manures. The pee was just handy for seedlings being in a liquid form already. If you bunch of prescription drugs, you might not want to use your urine.
