I'm a bit late to the SKIP party, but find this whole project delightful & rewarding on multiple levels. Looking forward to participating!

And, as a female who feels pretty confident in her mastery of the art of peeing outdoors, I was happy to document proof that the ladies can do it with the 1 photo approach, too! 🤣 (Edit: out of curiosity I looked back and was happy to see that I wasn't alone!) I don't always stand "like a man," but it did make this challenge easier. Haha.
Aimed between some tomatoes (away from the fruits which are mostly done foe the year anyway) and volunteer/mildly invasive parsnips. I don't actually think parsnips like nitrates, but they are being invasive anyway, so...

This is a very large rectangular planter with a 2+ year old pepper plant plus some newer babies. I diluted fresh PP approximately 10:1, and slowly poured it in a central spot between the roots of the smaller plants, to hopefully encourage them to grow as big and fruity as the large woody mama plant to their right.

I'm the only person who eats peppers from this planter, so hopefully this won't be cause for any complaints (shhh!) ☺️

According to growveg: Pee-Cycling for Gardeners, a 5:1 ratio might be more appropriate for peppers, so maybe I'll experiment with denser applications as time goes. 🤞
