Why would I want to support Monsanto and the agro-toxics industry? I don’t! That is why I am peeing on my garden. Piss on them! Not directly, diluted 10 to 1 or so. And it only took me ten minutes to convince my husband to pee in a bucket just like Amaya has been doing for the last month. I thought as I dumped her yellow gold urea into the toilet, there must be something that I can do with this. And there is.

It's not a new concept, Egyptians 4000 years ago used urine for many things including a mouthwash. You might not want to swill it, but urine is a natural bleach and disinfectant. It is still used today as topical disinfectant on wounds, rashes and blisters and to alleviate eczema—remember how you are supposed to pee on snake bites and jellyfish stings? There are some that give their tired, dry feet a daily urine soak to make them baby soft. Maybe you think that is disgusting to whiten your dingy whites with pee or grow your ‘maters with golden showers, but its much more natural than a chemical bleach detergent or petroleum-based so called Miracle put on shelves by the giant agro-toxics industry.

Your pee provided you don’t have : leptospirosis and schistosomiasis (bilharzia), which are found almost exclusively in tropical aquatic environments; and typhoid, which is inactivated shortly after excretion, is completely sterile. Urine has enough nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to grow wheat and corn substainably and it’s perfectly safe, acceptable and desirable because of the nutrition benefits.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services news release, a group of researchers in Finland who work at the University of Kuopio's Department of Environmental Sciences have concluded that human urine is an essential fertilizer. Scientist, Helvi Heinonen-Tanski states, "Urine is a valuable fertilizer which poor people could use to increase yields and not contaminate their environment. It is a resource, not a pollutant, if correctly managed".

Maybe you don't want to eat at my house anymore after reading this. Not when you find out what fabulously free baby-pee fertilizer I have been using on my plants. Forget Miracle-Gro which has a new product that has been recalled but also because of the OIL used to make fertilizers. Scott's, a multi-billion dollar bully with ties to Monsanto is suing a small company called TerraCycle that makes tea from worm castings and packages the tea in recycled 2 litre bottles.

Be smart about liquid gold, don't let it touch poopy, and dilute it so it doesn’t burn, it is a acid after all. Don’t water it on the actual vegetables, just around the roots and hold off a couple of weeks before the harvest. Its not like Its not like I am telling you to sip it like fizzy lemonade, but you can brush your teeth with urine, it will whiten your teeth.

An array of gardeners, eco bloggers and farmers agree that urine is an extremely affective way to fertilize a garden. By using one part urine to 10 parts (rain water or grey water would be great) water the high acidic levels of urine can be avoided. Many scientists and professionals even believe that urine is a much more affective way to fertilize than commercial fertilizers or sewage compost. What's more: urine is completely free!

Don’t see the connection between oil and fertilizer?

The urine your own household produces is safe to use without treatment. To collect urine in your house all you need is a two-to-five gallon jug or bucket. It must be fitted with a tight cover to prevent oxygen from turning the urine's nitrogen into ammonia, which smells bad and causes some nitrogen loss.

Urine is easy to purify -- all you have to do is wait. Urine leaves the body fairly acidic and then the pH increases rapidly until pathogens are unable to survive. This process takes from fifteen days in warmer Mexico to over three months in the chilly Scandinavian winter.

· Dilute it--one part urine to three to six parts water--and pour it into the soil around your plants. Don't use on young seedlings, and water alternately with rainwater or city water to flush salts from the soil, or apply urine before a rain.

· Compost it! Pour urine (rich in nitrogen) onto sawdust, leaves, or other carbon-rich materials and let it rot.

· Add it to your greywater system or constructed wetland. Phosphate-rich greywater mixed with nitrate-rich urine is a balanced liquid fertilizer for wetland, food, or ornamental plants.

· · Divert it to a leach pit away from natural waterways or drinking water wells.

· Ferment it! Paco Arroyo recommends adding a handful of compost per liter of purified urine and letting it sit uncovered for 1 month, and applying fermented urine at a rate of .5 liter per adult plant per week.
