All it does is kill the plants.
Please excuse my senior moment.
Of course I knew that.
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.
Austin sells Dillidirt same thing sewerage sludge dried out and out in bags for yuppies to put in the garden.
D. Franklin; A lot of replies on this one!
Leather. The chinese use pee in their tanning process. New Balance shoes are assembled here, but they were using chinese components, including leather. People started complaining about the pee smell of their shoes! I had this problem with some chinese manufactured boots. No more chinese for me!
I do not think its a good fertilizer. They originally sold millorganite to golf courses I would not use Dillidirt or milorganite in my garden. No way to know that stuff was dumped in the sewage system on the front end.
You can use Urea as fertilizer but that restricted to farming applications.
Summary
Urea is a low cost nitrogen fertilizer form. This is because of its high nitrogen composition and consequent low transport and storage costs. Urea may be the fertilizer of choice when only nitrogen is needed in a soil fertility program.
Urea converts to ammonium bicarbonate within about 48 hours after field application. Nitrogen in this form will tend to volatilize to the air as ammonia gas. This lost fertilizer investment risk can be minimized or eliminated by assuring that the urea gets into the soil and does not merely remain on the surface of the soil or crop foliage. This can be accomplished by irrigating in the urea; by plowdown soon after surface broadcast application; or by banding or injecting the urea directly into the soil.

It’s got a bit of a wang to it.😜
Like to see them “lust patches”...What’s going on at your place? : )
I know a guy who saves his piss in jugs and uses it as organic weed killer.
Don’t eat the yellow carrots.
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.
You should not use feces directly. It can contain a lot of bacteria. Best if composed a couple yrs.

"The defector, who had been shot five times while crossing Demilitarised Zone between the two countries, went through two rounds of surgery in South Korea due to his injuries. Dr. Lee Guk-jong found more than thirty parasites in the defector’s stomach and intestines, including “a parasite never seen in Koreans before.”
The parasites infecting Lee’s patient, including the as-yet-unknown one, are often contracted by eating produce fertilized with human manure. Roundworms block the intestine, which causes malnutrition and, in more serious cases, pancreatitis, appendicitis, and peritonitis. Lee told the BBC that his patient had “an enormous number” of worms infecting his gunshot wounds, and said he’s “never seen anything like this in my 20 years as a physician.”
And considering the open border to the south we are going to have a lot of these problems with some "immigrant" populations.
OK. I’ll take your word for it.
I am a retired gardener. I attended some Master Gardener courses, but not enough to get the designation.
I did learn a lot about composting.
Yikes!
they learned that tidbit of wisdom from Frank Zappa ...
I was too brief. I was agreeing with you..
