My wife said heck no on the urine collecting. She can’t stop me from peeing on the compost pile.

Another use is to pour on Fire Ant Hills. I stir up their nest with a stick and the pour on directly and around the edge. Depending on the size of the nest two applications is enough over two days to convince those buggers to move away. Use 100% strength and this is free and not using harmful pesticides.

It is a great idea, especially when considering the coming fertilizer shortage. Great video

We're gonna have to start paying tax on our own pee before soon

Love it! Back to what we’re meant to be and do. Thanks for posting!! Nova Scotia, Canada

Keep in mind that urine begins to break down as soon as it leaves the body. Fresh urine does not have too much of a smell at all. The longer it sits the stronger the smell becomes as the chemical composition starts to change. The chore these guys do here in this video has got to be pretty rough but if you take care of your urine daily or at least once every few days its really no big deal at all

I can't say enough great things about using pee in my garden. I started using it last year and was blown away by the results. I had amazing luck with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers and basil. My tomato plants were huge. I had one that was over 12 ft. tall. The peppers were around 3-4 ft. tall as well. I don't know if the pee has anything to do with it but I had very few problems with pests or diseases as well. I bring all of my indoor plants outside for the summer and I use pee on them as well. I don't use it on them while they're inside the house!!

I had a squash plant that looked nearly dead last month so I thought what the heck I’ll try urine on it it came back to life and is still producing squash. It works!

I've started using pee on our garden. One thing to note is that if you sprinkle pee tea on the leaves of your plants, you need that 8-10 parts water to 1 part pee ratio to prevents burning the plant. But if you pour directly on the soil or mulch around a plant, you can safely go with 3:1 ratio or maybe less.

I've done 1 part water 1 part urine on test spots on my lawn and it has turned a deep green after a week or two. About as good as I've ever seen a store bought lawn fertilizer perform. I will try 8 to 1 to stretch It out and cover more of my lawn.

Remarkable results. It's crazy that we're "rediscovering" something we should have known for 1000s of years.

People have been doing this from way back when but you have done us a favour..thanks.

I use it for composting only. It's great for adding nitrogen to fall leaves to get quick compost instead of slow leaf mold.

I just started doing this without really thinking about it. I generally pee in a glass bottle at night because my off grid cabin does not have a toilet and it's winter here now. I just decided a couple of days ago I might as well pour it in a watering can and dilute it to put on my plants. It will be interesting to see how my blueberry plants come along. After living in the bush for a year, peeing in a normal toilet doesn't even feel right anymore.

I pee on our compost piles. My wife hates it. Plants love it. Haha

Back in 2012 I was renting a basement in a house and the bathroom was upstairs in the main house and it was weird going up at night to pee so I just peed in a gallon jug and then dumped it next to the tomatoes and it worked great.

Something about this intrigues the hell out of me.

I’ve been doing similar work with my own outputs for more than 9 years now and you’re right on it’s a good feeling doing the right thing! What intelligent animal deliberately defalcates in their water supply 🤔

Collecting urine and using urine as fertiliser is a great way to conserve and save our rivers and therefore environment.

To those who have property with forest coverage. This is what you do! The Forrest floor is basically compost that has collected in the Forrest floor over millions or the last time it was logged. Get a shovel & scoop up everything on the forest floor. Dead leafs , grass , twigs etc & use the shovel to get the top layer of soil. That soil is not soil It’s compost basically however it needs some nitrogen. So once you have gathered barrels of Forrest floor, take your green grass cuttings and add to it. Also put 3-4 news papers in each barrel & a few cut up card board boxes. (NO COLORED OR GLOSSY PAPERS) if it has a finish on it do not use it. Now all you do is start throwing you veggie & fruit waste that you don’t eat in the barrels. Once you have this combo of stuff in your barrel you then need to dump a 5 gallon bucket of pee in it. Get a metal Rod or something to stir it. This will start a chemical reaction and it will break down in a few months. You don’t have to use a barrel , you can do it right on the ground in a pile. I recommend both. Use the barrels for pee , but also pour several gallons on the pile on the ground. The pile on the ground will break down faster because you will use a pitch fork and stir it and flip it every couple days. You will notice its really hot. When it starts breaking down it’s BECAUSE It’s alive! It will get 140-160 degrees sometimes if you have big piles. But the barrels that you filled with Forrest floor , newspapers and cardboard boxes + green grass cutting you will see go from 100% full to 30% full in a couple months. It breaks down that much. Once it’s done that it’s done. However I would then mix it with your compost pile on the ground as the barrel that was full of pee is full of potassium Nitrate. There is no urine left! It is perfectly safe. The urine is gone when this chemical reaction takes place. If you deer Hunt, trap etc throw you caucuses In your pile and burry them. If you do this you will want to build a small fence around your pile or the animals will dig it out & steal all that nutrients. We set a trap beside our compost pile & the Varmint that tried to steal our Carcasses becomes a carcass lol. The dead animals , fish etc will just make your compost on steroids x10. What I recommend with those who fish, when you clean your fish you want to put all the remains , guts, bones, scales it’s in mason jars or sealed buckets & leave it out in the sun. These you will want sealed with no holes. What your wanting here is it to turn into a black nasty sludge & it will after a few months of being in these containers. Use it as a weekly dose of HOLY COW look at it grow sauce. You get one of those attachments that go on a water hose that allow you to mix things with the water as it comes out. You fill it with this fish sludge & my god it’s the garden of eden. the biggest tomatoes I ever grew was when we caught Sting rays & use the remains that you don’t eat & put them in a jar to rot. We then pours the sting Ray sludge into our top layer of compost and mixed it up. After planting our garden we then take their top layer and put it around the plants when they are a month or so into the veg process before they start to flower/fruit & you will see your garden explode. I wish I could Upload photos to the comments, it grew squash & zucchini that were nearly two feet long and over 12 Inches around. Honestly they were too big. Had we known they would be so big we would of planted far less of them. Also, your veggies that rot from falling on the ground, put them in your next years compost pile. It’s a never ending process of awesomeness. There is no reason to buy expensive miracle grow & compost is way better than MG. And it’s really cheap. In southern Missouri compost is so easy to make you can but an entire pickup truck load worth for $75. An entire truck bed for 75, and delivered for another $50. It would take hundreds of miracle grow bags to equal that and would cost you thousands. Happy gardening , don’t be scared of the pee

I'm happy that there will be or is going to be fertilizer shortages as most of that crap is synthetic and damages the soil for the most part.

My grandfather use the Pee with water in the vegetable garden and fruit orchards and the fruits were so sweet. Amazing stuff

urine is full of nitrogen and it's exceptionally great for the vegetation stage.

Sooo... My area growing this year hasn't been so good. I made the joke to my wife, if i have to piss on the damn garden to make it grow it will!....then i found out..i should XD

I never heard of this but a friend told me that it saved people’s life when they had to drink it when they were at a place where there was no food or water. So I guess you got a point after all. Happy gardening ❤❤❤❤

If we are okay and accepting of the idea of using cow and horse manure on the garden/compost, we can be okay with the idea of using humanurin and humanure on the garden/compost, just have to develop knowledge on how to use these waste products for the good of all :) Recycle, reuse, reuptake

This takes the annoyance out of having to stop whatever you’re doing to go pee.

*Some people swear this is the best fertilizer for some certain plants.. But dont tell anyone or they wont want to eat your vegetables*

I agree this because my grandma did this to her spring onions and it grows very health. But only morning urine with mix of water

I'll have to wait until one of my plants has type II diabetes so it can take advantage of my medications.

Thank you for sharing your simple and effective method! You gave me a few ideas. Happy gardening.

Charlton Heston used to start his day by going out to the garden at his home at the top of Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills, peeing on his plants. He use to love to tell people about it and say how great his plants looked even in a drought. Hated his politics loved the man.

I saw collection of human urine in the restrooms 40 years back in Korea.

This is why the forest is so lush and green thanks to animal poop and urine

My kin folk is from the mountains. Back in the day they did this also used it on wood chips to make compost mixed with manure. If ya don't have money your garden won't grow without inputs. add some wood ash it will make it even better

Also works great on the compost pile to help break down the 'browns'.

You have to mix pee with wood ash. They are both full of soil nutrients, but the one is too acidic and the other is too basic. Mix together, and you are cooking with gas.

I think this is a great idea but be aware you pass small amounts of medications through your urine. If you’ve been avoiding sugar though you’re probably not taking any medications.

Be careful with the pee if you are taking certain medications. Especially don't use pee if you are on antibiotics. Or if you have an infection. You can also help convert char into biochar with pee.

Pee cured my skin condition

Thank you! This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve found on the topic. I’m wondering how often you use pee tea on your plants… every time you water?

Wonderful location & garden! Had no idea Minneapolis had rural areas like yours. I've experimented with diluted urine, haven't used it on my food crops 'yet' but I've used it on ornamentals they are soooo green & healthy! Fantastic to have a FREE fertilizer we can always count on having, no matter how unavailable or expensive purchased resources could become! *As long as the human urine used is medication free {meaning that urine from people taking medication should not be used.}

Yes my mom also used that and i learned from it that it’s working the plants grew and the flowers bloom also orchids continue to gave flowers.

Thanks for the tip on the weeds! I really needed a natural weed killer! How does the pee work on trees and how often do you apply it? Thanks!

You actually pour it right on the leaves?! I would have thought just in the soil.

It works really good on tomatoes. I use it.

Free fertiliser! In Sweden it's called Golden Water.

I have been using urine on my flower garden for 3 years and the deep greens and vibrant colors are amazing. In my further research I read multiple books and learned urine is even more effective on human beings as a food, cure-all medicine, and soap. It has been such a pleasant surprise. Look into it.

Fun fact in ancient Japan 🇯🇵 they had people who went around collecting pee to use to grow food. This is part of the reason Japan was super clean back then. Had pee buckets everywhere. People would sell their pee and at times poop.

I have a 5 litre container I piss in, been doing it for a decade, saves water for flushing, though my flush water is rain water harvested fed by gravity.

A lot of people are grossed out at the thought that a person is collecting their urine, but...a whole days pee is enough to feed plants for a month.. even when it ferments, it just stinks, as long as the nitrogen doesn't off gas and the pee is kept in an airtight bottle, it is still safe to use. It is very potent stuff. You can throw in dead leaves into a tumbler, and without pee it will take a year to break down. Throw on some undiluted pee one every other day for a couple of weeks and that pile of leaves will be ready to use as compost in as little as a month.

I too pee in a milk jug to make free fertilizer for my back yard garden. Truth be told sometimes I pee directly on the plants 🌱

As long as the person is healthy and has no Venereal disease

When he pick up that container in the pee tea bucket, without gloves on , I nearly burst I was laughing so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's the future for Us all. Nature is Perfect. Water is Life and has memory... Why would We pee and deficate in it?

I pee in the sink .i haven't been flushing for 7 yrs. I've saved water.

Completely ok. Urine is sterile 99% of the time, has no bacteria, mouth and hands have more bacteria than regulat urine. Urine has tons of Nitrogen, K, Phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, is acidic as well. I just need a guidance re recommended dilution?, I know it has to be diluted some?. Planning to use on bushes outside and oranges trees, I dont have vegetables.

Thank you for this video I started doing this last year to see if it worked and I was so happy 😄 to see my plants were bigger and produced more God bless you and your family 👪

How often do you fertilize the same plant?

I've been using urine for a few yrs now after hearing about it on some off grid tv series. It works great.

I add dolomite soaked with urine aswell. Soaking the dolomite and turning it into a paste makes it mix up better and it does stop the urine smell within 12 hours. Alternate with a mycrohhzoa mollases mixture and Bob's your Uncle.

I was sold on this urine as fertilizer idea… until he started watering the LEAVES of the plant. I had it in my mind that I ONLY apply the pee tea on the dirt. That’s how I’ll get over the gross factor. If you were to put those leaves for sale and I knew they were soaked in pee, I can tell you right now I wouldn’t buy any. This is coming from a guy who deals with pee every working day, as a lab tech.

Ancient wisdom never fails, great topic

What's really gross is reusing the water for drinking, which is what every city does in USA, the also add chlorine and flouride

Straight pee will rapidly kill moss that is on walks.

Amazing .....an excellent presentation..thank you,Sir🇨🇦

Invite friends over for salad and play this video while they eat. jk. Valuable info.

How often do you fertilize your plants with it?

That's what I call a Golden Shower

Great for activating biochar. Just one two no mixing and make sure your char is crushed or pulverized. You then add to your compost or soil. Keep in mind its super hot and can burn the roots; sparingly applied. The same with chicken manure, don't bury it.

I'd like to see a trial done with different urine dilution ratios. It's hard to find a source for the ratios often quoted online.

Very good, sensible information. How often would you put pee tea on plants please, and do you use it on all vegetables? I'm thinking it would not be too good for peas and beans? Thank you.

Any comments on mixing pee and wood ash?

Pee has salt. Over time it can be a problem. I do not discourage its occasional use but be careful using it too often.

For men a liquid laundry detergent jug with the pour spout removed is a good container to pee in. Just pull on the pour spout with pliers and it will come out leaving a large opening and threaded for replacing the cap.

Does it matter how old the pee is? I have read that the ammonia build up from aged pee could cause problems, have you had any problems with this? Thank you

Very valuable info for my off grid trees/shrubs.

human urine my mom do swuash plant to fertelizer im amaze to them because everyday imorove they plant fast grow..! now i saw collecting urinne from me because im di backyard garden.,

I turn wood on a lathe in the workshop and have an unlimited supply of wood shavings, with 99% being untreated green "firewood". I keep a pail full of shavings as a urinal, and the crazy thing is they somehow trap the urine odor while you fill it up. When it's ready to go out to the garden, i just mulch around the fruit trees with it. I think it sort of acts like time release medicine for the tree as I not only have never killed a tree, but quite the opposite. I planted 5 apple trees that were just 12" tall pencil twigs in 2015. One died that year, three served as controls and one was pee'd on for the last few years. The pee tree is nearly 10' tall and almost 2" thick at the base while the others are only about 6 feet tall and just over an inch at the base.

Nice concept.i love this

Thanks so much for the 1:8 ratio formula.

How long does the pee stay in the soil after you watered the plants

Just to make sure, that was straight water at the end, right?

Plus it reduces the load on your septic system

I love the idea, but what about the salt build up in the soil? The garden area was looking a little patchy.

How often do you fertilize your plants?

This was used in India for millennia.

That's why my mother didn't get upset when my brother pee-peed in our fields lol

Also human manure aka shit is amazing for growing plants of all sort but Tomatoes 🍅 and other veggies and my fav is Cannabis she loves human shit 👌

Question: Is this your only plant fertilizer?

Interesting thankyou. But one control plant is not enough. That can be a multitude of reasons that one single plant might be smaller.

Can you collect shower water with the urine? That way you would be utilizing urine and grey water, to water your garden. Have you experimented with that?

How often do you use the peealizer?

we take manure and mold into flat pancakes then sun dried for fire to heat us in winta

I use 10:1 ratio. How often is it safe to use? Weekly or bi weekly? Thank you.

Thanks, I enjoyed. I been doing the daggone thing, recycling from all sides & both ends. I’m doing both with nothing more than a bucket for “night soil” and an ice cream container quartz or 1/2 gallon size and bottle(s). It’s going to my whole yard eventually. Just garden and next years new portion getting prepared now, haha. (That can get straight urine in the trough of green scraps that will get covered up..then leaves to take and compost and some I will burn, most I won’t.)

Golden water...greet from Nigeria .

An idea! You could have two toilets. One for solids and the other for liquids.

Pee for leafy greens. Poo is for fruits and legumes.

What would happen if you put the pea though a bio filter before you water your plants
