heya santb, cheers to ya,,
you may ask, never a problem at all, never,, and i will gladly answer, anything at all,, nearly,,
re: urine as a fertilizer,, firstly,, lotto info on the use of urine as a fertilizer,, the concept would absolutely save the world,, one pee at a time,, but,, just too much 'eww' factor built in,, oh well,, still, it could be done,, the world i mean,, saved by pee,,
never use straight urine,, certain death,, straight it's like heroin to the plant,, bad heroin,, it must be diluted, for general watering for my veg plants, i use nothing but a one to fifteen solution,, adjusted ph down because the urine is high ph,, i use vinegar to ph down,, takes a surprising amount of vinegar,, that for veg plant watering,,
for flowering plants,, nitrogen,, which is what urine is full of,, think bone meal,, urine has near the exact same properties,, so for flowering,, not so much nitrogen is needed,, so, i dilute half again,, about one to thirty or so,, ,, and like any fertilizer, the last two weeks of a flowering plant gets only pure water,,
foliar spray, this is where the urine shines,, the plants just love it,, never the slightest leaf issues at all, except they grow too big,, for foliar spray,, i very heavily dilute,, till the water just shows the tiniest change of colour,, that is all for the foliar spray,, and,, no spray in the flower room, none,, just veg plants,,,,
and then for me i dilute even more,, barely perceptible,,, ha,, eeewwwwww, grossss,, just kidding,, none for me, honest,,
there is a smallish odour associated with the use of urine,, might not be for everyone,, understandable,, workin for me tho,, for now,, my, ever so slight, organic contribution to the world,,
as for dutty and dt,, they have been warned about peeing directly onto the plants,, well, warned is not the right word,, we discussed the reasoning behind the pee ban,, they understand as well,, but they are kids afterall,, and boys too,, we best chat about it again,,
cheers santb,, appreciate yer interest,,
Cheers nivek I was thinking about foliar so happy to read your opinions!
How long should you store urine before using, if at all; and how long will it 'keep'? I have read elsewhere that it should be stored for a month or so... But the smell does get stronger after some time. Doesn't bother me "eewww"-wise cos I'm a grown man and such arguments are for little girls; anyway, I have collected some already for use on citrus and a rose bush but some has been sealed for a few months now...
Should I throw it out? I can get plenty more.....
,, i hear ya,, but,, shhhh, we will just keep that between you and me,, 
You're getting this down to a science, my friend. 
It is wat it is mate...
