should I wee on my tomato plants?

 

I read that urine is a good fertiliser and gardeners sometimes use their
urine as a fertiliser.?

Does this mean that I should wee on my tomato plants, or should I dilute it
& pour it on the lawn, or should I use the toilet like civilised people do ?

All help / advice/ insults / are gratefully accepted

Thanks

Years ago, we had a long discussion here about the benefits of weeing on
the compost heap and concluded, IIRC, that urine was good for the
compost.  I am not sure about tomatoes, however, although we  were
advised last year that my husband should wee in the garden where the fox
came over the fence every night.

I am similarly marking my territory for our pesky foxes, in
combination with a electronic device emitting a high pitch noise and
creating various physical obstacles to foxes' paths.

Otherwise undiluted on compost heap, as an excellent accelerator. A
responsible way to recycle used tea, beer and wine.

I think you're taking the piss!

 



In this household, urine goes on the compost heap. It's an excellent source
of nitrogen. I wouldn't put it direct/full strength on plants. I have heard
that diluted 1 part urine to 20 parts (might have been 10 parts... must
check) water is a good feed for plants.
