It's very rainy outside, so the soil is defintiley very wet. Here I am peeing on a Yellow Dock plant. It's roots are medicinal and great for treating constipation. It makes great big leaves, which requires nitrogen. That's why I thought it would appreciate my offering.

Can't believe it took me so long to spot this BB! We do this anyway.
We've found that by cycling our pumpkins (in this case), and other nutrient-loving plants through a cycle of urine every four weeks, and exudates from our worm bins every four weeks (but the two cycles are two weeks apart, so the plants get fed fortnightly), we get some excellent results.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must:
- one picture of direct peeing on moist soil around a urine loving plant and what the urine loving plant is
- OR two pictures: one of urine being diluted and one of mixture being given to plants
It is best practice to label each photo with the BB proof. EG: "Urine being diluted" and "mixture being given to [plant name]"
Best wishes for future BBs.
A. Urine is being applied (according to instructions, using a container for transfer is okay).
B. The plant is visible, and the soil is moist (it's been raining for the last two days).
C. I've reported on the urine-loving plant.
I'm not being difficult, I just don't see the missed requirement. 😅
**Edit:** Thanks for the clarification 🙏🏼.

While this activity would typically be deemed inappropriate where I currently reside, I make the effort to do this in the wee hours of the morning when I’m least likely to be seen and the land is damp with dew. There is an open grassy area with propagated **willow trees** behind the home we’re living in. I’ve gotten in the habit of relieving myself right after waking up when I let my dogs out to do the same. I see a variety of benefits from this practice:
- The willows and nearby grass get fertilized/watered.
- I benefit from the fresh air, morning sunlight, and optic flow.
- No toilet needs flushed, which reduces water usage and ensures the noise of flushing doesn’t wake the rest of my family.
- I’m already letting my dogs outside, so the habit is easy to maintain.
