According to this article at Scientific American, tomato is a valid plant for human urine fertilizer. I have a tomato producing very dark purple fruits, but none of them have ripened and I've been picking from other plants for six or eight weeks. So I decided that was a good candidate for special treatment. I aimed for near the base of the plant, but not on it, and spritzed some neighboring plants in the process. I'm sure this is unnecessary, but out of an abundance of caution, I gave the area a quick rinse. We got .68 inches of rain between 0700 (when I check the rain gauge each morning)  yesterday and today, so I went with the easier undiluted option. I think you can tell that everything is wet from the rain even though you can't really see the soil where I was peeing.

I guess if some detail isn't quite right, I'll try again in an hour. :)

What took me so long! I pee in the woods all the time as my morning routine starts with a large coffee and finishes with a dog walk in the woods. Juggling dog lead and camera and …. Well, I only have two hands. Anyhoo . . . Went for second technique instead.

Filled 10% of a milk bottle and then filled the rest with water. Fed to hydrangeas.

I watered an established fig bush. Internet research made it sound like the fig would be happy without it being diluted, but I topped the jar with rainwater anyways. Looks like I haven't been drinking enough today...

Edit: Presses submit before I finished uploading photos

I used the clever P-Style female urine diverter to assist me in giving urine to alfalfa while at Wheaton labs for the 2021 PTJ.

Note: Alfalfa is a nitrogen fixer so unfortunately it is not a urine loving plant

Photo 1 is urine and water it's going into (dilution water, which I use rainwater for)  nature forgive me for all the plastic.

Photo 3 is pouring it for the pear tree -- note, ordinarily I would aim at the drip line instead of closer in, but it was dark and then the tree wouldn't be lit by the light on my camera.  I also don't ordinarily just pour in one spot but splosh aroud unevenly, for a full grown tree.  I did this for the directions for the badge.  Thanks.

I made a little cattail bed that lives on the drip of a 9000 gal tank.    
I dug it out and had the ducks and geese glee it.   Then I planted it with cattails.



It is kind of my special spot to pee because it is protected by the water tank and the cattails.
