I’m a grown up, I can handle this topic and I appreciate you for being open and honest. This info is 👍

In the mid 90s I volunteered at an appropriate technology center in Guatemala. The outhouse was set up so that urine passed through a hose to a jug outside and we sprinkled wood ash on our poo. After 6 months the seat was moved to an empty side and the full side was capped and composted for 6 months. After 6 months the compost was removed, shaken through mesh wire and deposited in the garden or bagged for later use. It had an earthy smell and didn’t seem gross to hold in our hands like soil. Thx for bringing up the topic. Great video!

Everyone laughed at me several years ago when I told them about this. I have used urine to keep deer out of my garden and it works. I was told it only worked if you use urine from a man but that's not true. As a single woman I didn't have an option but obviously the deer can't tell the difference because they stayed away. Glad you did the video because I have a stump in my hen house I need to get rid of. I don't use chemicals so that stump is a thorn to me but now I know how to get rid of it. Thanks Billy.

if you start selling you urine, you'll need to label it "certified organic" to get top dollar

This being 2022 and everyone seems to be talking about the lack of fertilizer... diluted urine is a great way to add nitrogen to your plants.

😂 You said “we’re not holding anything back”! I laughed all the way through this funny and informative video. We’ve actually used urine for critter deterrent and it seems to be working. Can’t wait to tell my husband to go look for a tree stump!

Great tip on stumps! I’ll have a lot of them at my new place. When I was in the city, I only had access to leaves for carbon and I would poke holes in the bag of chopped leaves and pour the “nitrogen solution” in and shake it up, which worked great to “precompost “ the leaves before adding them to my big compost pile.for the ladies out there...this is easily done with a big gulp cup from 7-11!😉learned how to do this in the Army during Desert Storm with a poncho on because we had no latrines when I was out on advance party or doing an engineer support mission. Yes, it’s weird to some people, but it’s an amazing amount of free nitrogen. Also worked great to break down straw bales for a straw bale garden experiment that I did. Adding large amounts of this to garden soil long term can add too much salt, but compost microbes and insects can mitigate sodium amounts. It’s for sure cheaper than buying nitrogen!

Additionally to soaking the stumps, I recommend covering them with compost and dirt. They will desintegrate faster.

I kid you not, this man isn't lying. I had chickens for some time, and I would occasionally have something pick one off in the dead of the night. I was at work one day when an old farmer had picture of chickens. We struck up conversation about them, and the topic of their disappearances came up. He literally told me to pee in a 5gal Lowe's bucket until it was full, then sprinkle it on the perimeter of my property. I swear, that stuff lasted for weeks after only a single application. Still, do it weekly, but it does work. It keeps all the critter-getters at bay.

THANK YOU! I was just discussing w/ my significant other what in the world to do about a big stump near our driveway. Now we know! I had also heard if you mix it 1/10-20 it makes good plant fertilizer. It makes no sense to me to go out and BUY something our body makes every single day. We don't have a fertilizer shortage, we have a common sense shortage.

Thank you bro’, this was my BIGGEST question . Waste control. Nobody’s talking. Thanks again!

Bless you for reminding us that we’re all part of a process. Surely we don’t have to apologise for natural functions, and the male of most species marks it’s territory. That’s what you’re demonstrating and teaching us also how we can work with Nature to help break down woody structures using our own naturally created nitrogen. Again, just part of the process. You’re a treasure, THANK YOU 🤗 grandma from Oz

Today's episode is brought to you by the letter 'p'. I started watching you after Jason visited you on his channel. You seemed like the happiest guy on the planet. Your videos are always informative and you have a fantastic sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge/passion.

Not weird! I use urine in my regular neighborhood home…the neighbors have no idea! I didn’t know about the stump decomposition, though! Cool, cause I have a stump in mind!

My dad used to walk around the garden every night. He said it kept the evil spirits away, lol.

Yes, you are 💯. I discovered it works well around 🪴 squash and zucchini plants. I tried It from watching a KZfaq channel, it really works. At first I thought that is soooo discussing. Then I thought about it. It's my urine and it's my garden. So what the hell. Why not try it.

good on you mate. i live on self sufficient property in nz, solar power, rain water etc. if you splash your urine on a compost pile that will help a lot but if you mix comfrey leaves - chopped and mixed with urine and water 1: 1 and after few days you will get best fertilizer for your strawberries and other veggies. of course if you are healthy. some people even drink they own urine with no problems .

This definitely has helped my garden the last two years I definitely recommend it.

Thanks for the tips. Urine's far less disgusting than whatever it is the sell in plastic bottles to do the same things. Plus, earth toilets smell less than regular toilets, and I do like them, although I've only used them at festivals so far, so maybe for lengthy periods I might miss regular bathrooms, I dunno!

Hey Man, great to hear you talking about Urine. My wife and I collect our URINE daily by having a small bucket fit into our FLUSH Toilet Bowl and this is empted into 5 litre plastic bottles and poured over our Veggie Raised garden Beds after sprinkling them with WOOD-ASH from out heating stove. This system balances the PH to a slightly acid reading 6.7 which suits most Veggie Plants. So keep this good ideas flowing

Thanks for sharing all kids should learn these subjects.

Great ideas! I pour gallons of urine on the compost pile when it cools down and it heats right up. I also use diluted urine anywhere I might use Miracle Gro, like to green up yellowing plants. It does wonders for my corn crop.

i have been using it to speed up compost heaps for decades. it works very well. i compost arborist wood chips with it and it speeds the process 3 fold.

Thanks for this, and all, your videos! I just hope you don't get flagged by KZfaq for this video. Let us know if "urine trouble"!

I use urine to fertilize my vegetable garden. One part urine to nine parts water. I live in close proximity to neighbors so fish emulsion is not possible. I had been using Miracle Grow up until then.

I didn't want to subscribe to another channel, but i finished the video and said dammit, i like this guy. Anymore channels and im going to need help watching the vids. Thanks for the info man, i knew of a few but did not know of the stump breakdown, which i definitely need. Much appreciated.

Thanks for covering topics that other people won’t.

'It's a party with a purpose' lol

I live in a small lot subdivision, yet close to open areas so I get deer in my yard especially when their food is scarce. So I have used urine for a perimeter repellant from time to time. One day I came home to find my neighbor taking pictures of my front yard. Up close she pointed out 3 deer at once munching away on my flora. I mix fruit trees, veggies, herbs, edible flowers right into my gardens along with regular flowers and shrubs. (My kids call it my grass eradication project.) It works. I do not put it directly on anything edible. A few month ago I had a bear siting in my driveway feasting on one of my overloaded apple trees. This is a good reminder to be proactive for that in future years. Also may be good idea if I have to have a garbage can with meat scraps out to the curb overnight.

It's my understanding that it needs to be kept in a container for at least five days for the conversion from ammonia to nitrogen to be in full effect. Urine is an awesome resource. Thanks for putting this out there and making it part of the conversation.

I'm sure some ppl are cringing watching this video lol but it's very informative and these are things ppl have been doing for years. But yes def your keeping it real. I never heard about using it on stumps. So I learned something new today!

Good idea and thanx for the tip!

I use my own urine on my trees... I just pee straight on the ground and then just water a little bit to dilute it. Works great. My fruit trees are always full of blossoms.

Very good video! I love the humour of it! And the information! Thank you!

So happy i ran into ur video n channel. You're super educational and entertaining. THANK YOU!!

I've been doing this and using it in the garden all summer. It's loving it.

Great timing! We just started researching this very topic today. Thanks for sharing 👍

We just bought a clear cut. The stump nitrogen idea is the best! Thank you.

I once read somewhere that healthy human urine is close to a 1-1-1 fertilizer....

Very educational with something thats free and plentiful

Awesome information! Thanks a ton - that was great!

So glad I've found your videos...blessings brother

also, wnen strawberries start flowering add wood ash mixer with water for watering plants ( 3-4 times in two weeks ) . you will be amazed !

It is a weird topic, lol. But I like the honesty and bluntness. Interesting use with the tree stumps, I didn't know that it would do that.

Great vid! Thanks

Everything's you said is truly the natural way. Keep it up !

thank you for all your tips!!

Bill I have been doing this for many years and everything is growing lusciously.

I’m checking out your channel now, very good content!

Thanks for the courageous video! Tip#1 is brilliant!

Excellent video. I try not to waste anything, including my own "waste". People should be talking about this!

I have a six feet high privacy fence around my sides and backyard here in central Florida , so recently I discovered that if I pee on the sand spur weeds they die pretty fast.

Great explanations on a tricky topic Billy!

Thank you for information

appreciate this video so very much! Knew about using diluted as fertilizer but didn't know about the tree stump..ty!

hahaha - hilarious and educational. It's the P Show. :-) It's always good to learn something new that's beneficial.

I have a residential lot in a small town. Since the house is currently unoccupied (yard kept mowed, though). There is a small herd of deer that frequent the yard, and I was searching for info on urine and a deterrent for when I eventually move in. That is how I stumbled on your channel and this useful information.

Awesome video!

I like your work and detailing

Funny You just answered my question on what to do with the urine from compost toilet Great information! Thanks 👍🏻

Great video! thank you! Very informative and love the humour that you bring into it! I would also like to learn about mixing our grey water with our urine as a part of the dilution process.

Excellent and we starrten this ourselves this year…so much to learn and share…

Love it!!!!

Great video. It’s difficult (time consuming) to manage a farm, composting animal and additional human manure with few people helping. I think it’s ideal for large families.

I appreciate the great ideas.

I gotta pee but first, adding to your statement about high up in trees, in bear country the higher the pee in the tree the larger you appear to the bears. Watch them run. Another great video Billy. Thx

i been looking for ways to get rid of stumps!!!!! Thanks PIMP!!!!

Lol……. Pressure sprayer would be awesome in this application. You can set it to straight stream… love your videos…😜

Thanks so much Billy. Good common sense talk!

"The Humanure Handbook" by Joe Jenkins is an excellent resource.

Brilliant video Brother...

"That's when I really started experimenting with it" LOL Mannnnn I had a good laugh at this - thank you for all of the great information boss - you definitely have me reconsidering our waste cycles on the farm.

Fun and informative. Thank you.

well done Billy!!!

This topic is absolutely fine as it's a natural act, it saves on water 💧 being flushed down the sewer while having a use for the compost 🤷‍♀️ I visited a garden centre in Kent, UK 🇬🇧 and they had a shallow hay bale where people could wee 😏 and I must say that they had a spectacular garden of vegetables, fruits and herbs 🤗 I may just try this out 🤔🤗

Stump remover. Awesome! Thanks

I am on my 3rd year of testing Urine as fertilizer (I have them on my channel in playlists) .... I have several plants in each of the following catagories: control, commercial fertilizer (miracle grow), Urine and Urine with Woodash. I use directly at the base of the plants, diluted 10 parts water to 1 part water, every two weeks... I'm constantly in ah of people that are gross at using our own waste but a pig/horse/goat is ok.... fun topic and it works! with a shortage of nitrogen in farming this year i'm using urine more than ever.

Very interesting topic. Great advice thanks

Not weird, not disgusting, very informative. New subscrber😊😊

Just discovered your channel. I love it! Thanks so much.

I use urine 1×15 water in garden as fertilizer

Thank you for keeping it real.

Would love to see some controlled measurable experiments show the results of your ideas.

nice . will use it today for the stomps

Great clips

Turning a liability into an asset is the name of the game. Why throw away valuable nutrients just because someone else thinks it's icky. Great tips! Definitely do proper research before using human waist, but as chemical fertilizer becomes more expensive and proved to be less effective long term, it's great to be thinking about how to maximize the resources you have. Thank you!

Citrus trees love it too.

Not gross at all. Thanks for your good sense and advice 🙂👍

Thank you

I like some of these ideas

You can concentrate the nitrates and also make gunpowder.

Did I really just watch a video with a guy walking around holding a jug of urine? Great content as usual and definitely a topic worth addressing.

In central California I had a problem with cougars, bobcats, and coyotes. When male guests needed to pee, I requested that they select a perimeter tree, and apply it as HIGH as possible. The cats shredded my Posted signs....in retaliation??? BTW, the male Jack Russel terrier stands on its front paws, to pee higher up on the tree...implying a much taller dog. Zoos also sell Lion Urine, which I am told works VERY well as a deterrent. -M

I have used my own magical elixir for a few purposes. We have coyotes that cross through our woods, sometimes, on a path we call the coyote highway. I created a fresh deposit once and the highway traffic ceased for quite a while. Second, it is sometimes deposited in fallow garden beds. It is nitrogen. I do not use it when growing something that will be eaten, or even when it will soon be planted. But it adds nitrogen and the strength gets tempered a bit with a little time. It also has minerals. Your body uses and needs plenty of minerals, and how do you think it gets rid of minerals that it no longer has use for? They all pass through your bladder. What follows my deposits grows well almost always, I just give the deposits some time before using the beds. I also will add it to my compost pile and let it temper there. I know a few permaculture fans that do not like not using any nitrogen or carbon that leaves their body. I prefer to use modern plumbing for my carbon emissions, but once during a plumbing emergency, it went into the compost pile too, with a little limestone to keep things from being too fragrant. Just watched my first couple of your videos. Enjoyed them. Plan on watching more. Thanks.

Mate you're a legend!

Intelligent coverage of an uncomfortable topic 👍 new subscriber

Works awesome for termite control. ... best if allowed to rest in a sealed container for two weeks prior to application.

Good info.

brilliant video, very useful.. and funny uk

Didn't know about the use of urine as a natural 'stump-grinder.' Useful, thanks for that. I do use my own urine around apple trees, thornless blackberries, and some other fruit plants - to deter deer from hogging all the fruit and stripping leaves. They can be a menace for that where I am. I have tried to encourage my lads to save their urine in containers outside, but they forget, or it's more convenient to just use indoor facilities. Pity, given what you say about the concentrated hormone levels. I'll try again with them. When my dad was a boy, his parents were very keen and competent vegetable growers, and what they used to have was a movable outdoor privy in the garden. Dig a pit, place the privy over it, a shovelful of garden soil over your 'business,' when it was almost full, fill in the rest with garden soil and move on - which would save all the effort and disgust of clearing and moving human solids from a more permanent structure.
