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. 🤞

Note: Good job pee-ing, diluting, watering. From the BB description, there is a note about not using urine in small pots. This container doesn't look small. But keep in mind that it might not like urine often.

Hi everyone,

This is my first badge submission, so forgive me if I don't do everything optimally :-)  Also please correct me... nicely if possible.

Here are 2 pics for the 2 pic method for the urine on plants badge, showing me 1) diluting the pee jar, and 2) applying it near some rhododendrons in the yard (notice the deep leaf mulch I applied?) :-)

I'm hoping to do enough of these quickly to be accepted for the metals workshop coming up this month. I'll contact the organizer separately.

Thanks!

Michael
