In this video I explain a simple way to close the nutrient loop, at least partially, virtually free.

I pee on the border of my garden. Especially morning pee. It keeps the deer and critters out! Close the loop!

I have the same problem flushing toilets. I use thunder buckets and while it's more work it's better than loosing the waste lol

Yes such a waste to flush it away in sewerage when plants are crying out for fertiliser.
I pee into a 2L plastic bottle with cap, so any odour is contained, then once a day use the kitchen sink greywater to dilute it in a 10L bucket, about 1:4 water, then pour it on random trees in the garden.

I was doing it with some freshy transplanted comfrey and it killed half of them. I'm guessing it was too concentrated. The leaves didn't like it either when I toned it back. Is that from too much nitrogen or salt?

I’ve been doing this for years only I use a 5 gallon bucket and dilute it about 4 parts water to 1 part urine ! My wife refuses to participate 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂

I used to have a piss bucket next to compost bin that would go into the compost. Now I just piss under a fruit tree.

I have a system for buckets and watering cans, used it since I was about 12 (54 now). Blue or White - water only, no additives, Green or Yellow - organic only, but water soluble fertilisers ok, Black or Red - detergents or other toxic chemicals. It saves potential mixups.

I'm in an arid climate. I pee in bottles, and put one litre in a five litre watering can, so smell isn't a problem, you wouldn't even know. Outside of the can stays clean! I also have a lid from a liquid fertiliser container that you attach to the hose and it sprays a diluted mixture of whatever is in the container. I used that a lot when we moved to a yard with lifeless soil (sand!), all over the yard in general. It helped a lot I believe, and the Meat Ants, which are usually very defensive and bite other people that come to the yard, don't bite me!

I heartily recommend 4 litre Milk bottles - the top is a good size for me (lets not go further in this element) then using the watering can outside. Great video thanks, subbed.

Own your waste! When I walk outside with my metal watering can all the trees and plants yell out: “Me! Me. Give it to me!” It is so nice to be desired. Poop in a bucket that’s ¼ full of wood chips. Then cover your deposit with a scoop of biochar and then more wood chips. Dump on compost piles under trees you coppice/pollard in a rotation to make bio-char. Use new incredibly fast-growing hybrid popular trees. Keep it totally separate from food or forage production areas until you make it into biochar and then spread it liberally everywhere. Own your waste!
I have read that aging the urine better converts it to plant-available nitrites. Given enough contributors the storage, dilution and distribution system could be scaled up with readily available agricultural equipment (developed for the poisons they so love).

Tried it some weeks this spring, was wondering why the odour lingered after emptying and rincing the bottle I used. Now I know :)
