This is a photo of me adding urine near one of the new baby nectarine trees at Wheaton Labs. It's making its way through an organic hay mulch.



Thanks, volunteer reviewers! :)

I had to put a little pee spot outside near my garden, since it is WAY too far for this little pregnant mama to waddle all the way back to a toilet every damn time I gotta empty out two tablespoons of pee!  I use this orange bucket with a snap-on seat, dilute it with captured rainwater, pick an aspen tree nearby (yes, they ARE urine-loving trees) and give it some nitrogen love!

Collected urine in a bucket. I have a fancy lid for comfort. Diluted the urine. Then, I gave it to the Mexican Plum. Mexican plums are a native variety of stone fruit and this one should appreciate the extra nitrogen. I checked the mulch under the plum first and it was moist. I rinsed out the bucket and gave that to the plum too just in case.

    - 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

In the 'Mix' picture, measured urine and rainwater are in the foreground jars.  In the background are the overnight collected urine in a jar, urine and water dilution vehicle (aka water can), and collected rainwater in totes.

In the 'Pour' picture, watering a rhubarb plant with the urine and water mix in the watering can.
