Re: erm.... might this be going too far?
Fri, June 20, 2008 - 9:10 AMActually urine can be used 1 part to 20 parts water as an excellent liquid fertilizer. Assuming you aren't on gobs of medication and don't have some awful infection.
Okay, maybe I'm too green. And too geeky. -

Re: erm.... might this be going too far?
Fri, June 20, 2008 - 2:37 PMI'm no expert on the chemical makeup of human urine. But I do know it has been used for centuries by native farmers. It is a little heavy on the nitrogen, so I use it sparingly, unless I want all leaves and no fruit.
Its sterile, free and there's a new supply every day. -

Fri, June 20, 2008 - 10:48 PMthe DIY kit keeps the liquids and solids separate from the start. in the real world we would have to utilize specialized toilets to keep the urine untainted by the bacteria laden solid waste if you wanted to a larger scale.
this article reminds me of mel gibson drinking his own pee in "Water World". B) -

Sat, June 21, 2008 - 11:20 PMthat was kevin costner, not mel gibson :-p
there's been a piece of gardening advice for ages that comes to mind, which is that if you spread your pee out thinly across your whole lawn, it makes for great fertilizer, but you can concentrate it on weeds to kill them. wonderful stuff, that pee -

Pee drinking for health (as opposed to fetish) has a long and honorable pedigree. Haven't tried it personally, but friends stranded in the Grand Canyon did, and Lived to Tell the Tale.
I admire artificial closed ecosystems like that in a kind of geeky way.
