i have to agree that a 5$ box of MG is probally the easiest way.

[h=2]Human urine contains a form of Nitrogen called UREA. All plants need nitrogen to grow.[/h]
Substances contained in urine include a fair amount of Urea; other elementals such as phosphorus, potassium. It however can have some toxic elements such as mercury and lead. It also contains some sugars and vitamins.
As a liquid fertilizer it is usually used a 20 parts water to 1 part urine so it does not burn roots.
I only reccomend trying it on outdoor ornamental plants. Urine is generally sterile, but is a great breding ground for bacteria. Any urine that doesn't fully penetrate into the soil can allow this. For this reason and the potential mercury, lead content I would not suggest using it on food plants.
Another gardening use for Urine is in composting. When a pile consists of mainly leaves with little or no grass clippings to supply the nitrogen needed in the composting process, urine is a source of that needed Nitrogen. So each time a pile is turned adding a 10:1 dilution into the pile can accelerate the production of finished compost. That compost can be used in ornamentals or food plants as any harmful bacteria are killed, and the small amounts of any mercury, etc. are spread out.
