Use of human urine?
Comments (136)I've been using urine for fertilizer for 20-some-odd years. When used properly it's a fantastic (not to mention - free) organic source of nutrients. To use it 'properly', it's often beneficial to understand that horticulture mainly consists of conditioning soil in order to favor the growth of desired plants. As it seems most people here well understand, anything done to soil will affect its biotic environment and potentials. Knowing the needs, 'likes', and habits of the desired plantings help the grower decide what, and when to make additions and changes to the soil. Since urine is high in nitrogen, it can work well when used in soils where, and when, green growth is desired. Composted (aged) urine is usually lower in nitrogen than fresh, and can be beneficial for boosting levels of phosphorous in soils. Since the bio-availability of nitrogen from fresh urine is very high, dilutions are usually an important consideration (the strength of which can be adjusted for frequency of use and, since urine is extremely water soluble, amount of rain or watering the soil receives.) Another corollary that is important to follow is: unless you are using a VERY high dilution ratio, never fertilize (that includes the use of urine) a dry soil. Using fresh urine in vegetable gardens works best for plants in leafy-green growth stages. For tomatoes and many other fruiting plants, that means prior to the beginning of flowering and fruit set. While some fruiting plants (like zucchini) can handle later growth-stage additions of nitrogen in the form of urine, keep in mind that nutrient and ph balance can easilt be thrown off by the 'over-use' of many soil conditioners and fertilizers. As most gardeners are aware, the nutrient needs and 'likes' of plants is usually measured in N-P-K percentages. Finding the right balance for any planting or bed depends upon having at least a general idea of what you have before you make additions, and the needs and tolerances of the plants being fertilized. Adding too much nitrogen during (or even just before) the fruiting stage of flowering plants such as peppers (a plant well-adapted to sandy soils unable to hold and supply large amounts of available nitrogen) can encourage the green growth of leaves and biomass instead of the fruit the gardener desires. While the buffering capacity of soils differ greatly, a soil test, and knowledge of your individual soil conditions, will help you to get a handle on what additions are 'safe' and appropriate for the planting. Too much nitrogen (in any form, and especially on a dry soil) can 'burn' most any garden plant. Most trees however, can easily handle and benefit from additions of fresh and/or aged urine. Unless a plant is showing signs of nitrogen deficiency, I rarely add urine directly to the soil while the garden is in growth. I'll add it before, and shortly after transplanting, or in some cases seeding, but since young plants can be sensitive to levels of highly-available nutrients and salts, I do not usually put it right up against or 'on' the roots. The idea is to let the roots find it, or let the capillary action of soil moisture disperse it towards the plants. Instead, as i said, I use it on the beds before planting and depending on the crop, just after planting. Then, afterward - during growth - I use it on the 'weeds' (aka... the lawn.) I then collect, or mulch the lawn clippings depending on the needs at the time. Green manure is a good way to sequester and add slower-release nitrogen to soil or compost. Cover crops (especially those for over-winter use) can also use and sequester nitrogen (and thus fresh urine) for later crop availability. Adding a balanced amount to a compost pile can (as many have already commented) also be an extremely beneficial use of urine. Urine from animals differs greatly than that of humans and each species. Urine from cats and dogs can be much too acidic and concentrated for most garden use. Urine from farm animals such as horses and cows can be great additions to soil and compost (especially when gathered by collecting urine-soaked, high-carbon straw or saw dust from barns and sheds.) In short, using urine properly can benefit most any environment. It is a natural part of the Earth's biology and life-cycle. Understanding its strengths and weaknesses can help a grower boost and maintain the healthy biology of any environment. Putting it to work around the house and property can divert what modern society considers a waste, and give the aware gardener another great organic supplement....See Moresmell of human pee removal
Comments (40)Hi everyone, I’m here for the best ways to get rid of the smell evidence of a long standing incontinence issue. I‘ll plough my way through the products until I find the one that works. Thanks to everyone who’s said what worked for them and good luck to those who haven’t found theirs yet. I’ve created an account here just to comment - please contact CPS/NSPCC or any child welfare system if you think you should. Waiting until you see ‘it’ happen is too late. I’ve wished every day of my adult life (32 years) that someone would‘ve contacted them to help me and my siblings. Abusers are sly and brilliant liars and can do so much damage before ‘it’ is seen, if it ever is seen. Make that call. Every. Single. Time. Saving a child is a lot more important than the risk of someone being offended due to an anonymous call. Take care all x...See MoreIams, Marksman and River Run dog food recalls
Comments (1)Thanks - this is good information for dog owners. When I graduated from college I worked for the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. One summer I did testing in a lab for aflatoxin levels in corn. Some of it was gross - with most of the kernel covered in a gray-black mold. I always wondered where that corn was going - I think much of it went to animal feed - perhaps for cows....See MorePain management for dogs
Comments (11)Awww you poor dear! You must be out of your mind with worry. When my dog (Saint Bernard/ Black Lab mix) had surgery on his hind leg I kept him on a short leash tied to the couch. I iced his leg three times a day for 15 minutes. We also did light stretching exercises by moving his leg in and out gently. It helped with the swelling. He also had a little fluid retention but that went away in a few days. He was also on a light seditive and pain pills for a week. If your dogs swelling and fluid retention is really bad and leaking it could be a bad sign and I would take her to the emergency vet if you have one available. They may put her on antibiotics. It takes time for them to use the leg after a major surgery but a re-evaluation on Monday wouldn't be a bad idea. After 4 months, my dog is still going through physical therapy to strengthen his leg. Best wishes, Edna...See More
