    - 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.

I watered the garden and opted for the easier, direct stream approach using a "she wee" variant, Given that I had to hold the camera to take a pic, the stream hit one location right next to the comfrey. This is my first BB submission and it was easy and something I already do.. minus the camera!! hah! Hopefully I don't speak too soon as I'm not sure if my picture was uploaded.

My first BB! Submitted for approval.
Diluted because it was a bit too dark- I will drink more water. Applied to the middle of 4 plants in front yard.

I'm thinking about a new battle cry. Maybe "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Any thoughts tiny ad?
