The P.I.S.S. Method
This thread was created for fun and facts … Urine has been historically used in both agriculture, commodities , leather work even artistic paintings.
But, the Liquid Gold has even more beneficial use in your garden !
Many nutrient lines that you currently use have urea based compounds - these aid in nitrogen and photosynthesis. Bagged urea fertilizer can be a solid source of nitrogen ( 45% ) . Urea is neutral in pH and can adapt to almost all kinds of soils. It is a waste product formed naturally by metabolizing protein in humans as well as other mammals, amphibians and some fish. Urea is widely used in the agricultural sector both as a fertilizer and animal feed additive.
The main function of Urea fertilizer is to provide the plants with nitrogen to promote green leafy growth and make the plants look lush. Urea also aids the photosynthesis process of plants. Since urea fertilizer can provide only nitrogen and not phosphorus or potassium, it’s primarily used for bloom growth.
Advantages of Urea Fertilizer
Using human urine can help us work toward a closed-loop fertility system. While not a plant-based technique per se, using their own urine is a way that veganic gardeners can cycle back the nutrients from the foods they consume, while also diverting their urine from the water system where it acts as a pollutant.
Our urine contains significant levels of nitrogen, as well as phosphorous and potassium. The relative ratios are typically around 11 parts nitrogen to 1 part phosphorus to 2.5 parts potassium. Americans produce about 90 million gallons of urine a day, containing about 7 million pounds of nitrogen. Studies conducted in Sweden (Sundberg, 1995; Drangert, 1997) show that an adult’s urine contains enough nutrients to fertilize 50-100% of the crops needed to feed one adult.
Piss Tip :
By peeing in a carbon-rich medium ( like soil ) to make the elements plant available. For a healthy person, human urine typically has a pH of around 6.2 with a range of 5.5-7.0. A person’s diet and alcohol consumption can also affect the pH of their urine. Pee for the most part is also sterile.
The main organic component of urine is urea, a combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide, which is the byproduct of our bodies breaking down proteins into usable amino acids. Urea is very high in nitrogen, a key ingredient to healthy leafy growth in plants. In addition to being very nitrogen-rich, urine also contains dissolved phosphorus that’s immediately available to plants, making urine a quick-acting fertilizer. Pee also contains various micronutrients that valuable to your garden.
Dog and Cat pee are extremely high in urea - ever see the burned yellow patches on a lawn ? This happens from the high levels of ammonia and salt. Plus the pathogenic dangers from these animals can be a hidden risk.
This is why , this particular piss source is not recommended for our test.
Urine naturally contains salt and the amount can vary depending on a person’s diet. Urine use in arid areas could cause salinization of the soil and should be carefully monitored. Different plants have different tolerances to salt in the soil but an excess concentration of salt could adversely impact plant health and growth. For example, vegetables like potatoes and onions are very salt-sensitive whereas olives and barley are tolerant. Some leafy greens like kale and spinach are moderately tolerant.
So , i plan to start a grow using this method. I will have a plant watered / fed using this method. The plant I will experiment with will be in a precharged soil mix ( mild potting only ) - No dry fertilizer toppings / no liquid nutes . The PEE water will be at a dilute rate of 1:3 to water to start then down to 1:1 over grow.
Some gardeners try to “ store “ large quantities for garden use but I will do this as the plant needs it.
FRESH - FREE - SUSTAINABLE MELLOW YELLOW
So feel free to “ tinkle in “ on this thread , add your own grows , DIY projects - suggestions or “ piss tips “
Peecycling in your garden for perfect plants !
Tinkle for Terps !
Pee on your plants - not in your pants !
Let’s get this Pee Party Started …..

Advantages of Urea Fertilizer
- Superior Nitrogen content
- Low production cost, as source is natural
- Non-flammable and risk-free storage
- Wide application range, for all types of crops and soils
- Neutral pH and harmless to crops and soil
