Pee is the shit.

obviously some of us above get by on ignorance ...
and others here know about the use of piss for Nitrogen. an ancient practise, I suggest.
I even use composted shit on my garden!
so one man's meat is another man's poison.
just must be careful not to piss too close to the stem ... or not to piss on the same spot too much unless it's watered in well.

I was completely hoping to never see one of these threads again! Ugh.

So, cow pee is not so good. Well, I do not pee on my plants in general, although if I grew outside I wouldn't hesitate to pee near them if there was not a better place or it was "urgent". I just threw this up because I stumbled across that on Google and figured a little study with findings on the topic wouldn't hurt anybodies knowledge base. Human sounds like a viable supplement is what I got out of reading this. I knew some would be offended by the idea, but when the world is so populated we start stacking people, shit like this will probably be necessary for our mutual survival. On human poo, I would look into how to break that down some and prevent passing any pathogens before I would even consider it. Besides that, who would want to smell human poo all the time in their garden? Lots of cow poo makes me wanna move downwind.
BTW, sorry for bringing up an old and unpopular topic SH.

This does come up quite often but no worries. Centuries ago when man was eating different food sources and not filled with preservatives, medications, toxins, yada, yada, the practice would of been more acceptable but now with the alcohol and other inputs that would render your pee more a liability than a asset for your microbes and in return your plants. There are far beter sources of N than pee my friend......
Not even going go over the sodium factor...

I am sure seamaiden will chime in as I believe she goes around pissing in the garden all of the time.

Im a little surprised that using Urine still comes up as if it's a big surprise considering how popular Urea is in many many commercial fertilizers - nothin' new here.

my bro in socal did it, and i trusted him'the other day, one of the blueberry headbands i recieved wasnt looking too hot. they were quarantined, no aphids, etc, and were let in.
Well, out of a sense of curiosity more than anything else, i pissed in a jug, diluted 50/50 with water, and watered that bitch.
no problems, she even got greener
I am mostly vegetarian, the meat we eat is organic, my chickens eat the food my ol lady ,makes them(peas, crab meal, organic wheat). we are a non-gmo family, so i am sure that the only synthetic shit they got was hydrocodone and acetaminophen. i am convinced that MY urine is fine for them, and she showed me that.
not that id do it a lot.
im sure that the plant wont taste like piss...
i read a bit of the cow piss article...that is super highly concentrated, a lot, in a small area, so i can see how, as with anything, too much isnt good

Kinda up in the air on human fertilizers, obviously our public poops in the "civilized world" are contaminated with tons of bad shit. But it has to go somewhere, always(could use it to make biofuel, paper, biodegradable plastics, dosn't have to go towards food). I read a book a while back that swayed me more towards the poop side of the fence "Farmers of forty centuries; or, Permanent agriculture in China, Korea and Japan" here as a pdf. I'm not saying i use my pee or poop on anything besides the random tree when i'm too far from a toilet, but if you ate only say nuts, fruits, sprouts, veggies good water and had a very healthy biodiversity in your stomach whats the real difference between that and healthy composted herbivore dung thats been run through worms? semantics, i would think
