In this Badge Bit you will give urine to a plant.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - give urine to growies
     - urine must be put in just one spot so the plant isn't forced to drink if it doesn't want
     - this technique is not suitable for pots unless it is a very big pot
     - one pic technique
         - soil must be moist and plant must be a urine loving plant
         - pic includes urine being applied and you can see the plant
             - probably using a jar or other container for transfer
                 - (yes, direct stream is okay, but make sure to crop out your junk)
         - report on what the urine loving plant is
     - two pic technique
         - first pic of urine being diluted (10 parts water to 1 part urine)
         - second pic of mixture being put in one spot for plants

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



I'm unclear as to what constitutes a urine loving plant, but I chose a fir tree that was certainly large enough to take up what I can produce in the moment, without stressing it.

If this plant doesn't qualify, I'll just have to find another one, but this time of year, the smaller plants are dying off as the temps drop.

Why should I lose weight? They make bigger overalls. And they sure don't make overalls for tiny ads:
