QUESTION: DOC AUGUST I AM AN ORGANIC FARMER LIVING IN THE CITY ,I JUST WANT TO ASK IF WHAT OTHER CHEAP ORGANIC FERTILIZER WILL YOU RECOMMEND ASIDE FROM KITCHEN WASTE I AM OUT OF JOB NOW AND CANT AFFORD TO BUY COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER .THANKS A LOT. ANSWER: H U M A N U R I N E Yes it is awkward to consider urine as FERTILIZER but is a fact. Urine contains NITROGEN,PHOSPHOROUS and POTASSIUM,which is necessary to plants, in order for the plants to thrive or grow and these are mineral fertilizers.Dont you know that once the urine leaves our body it is already sterile or already clean by our kidneys, it is considered as the purifying machine of our body.Even AUSTRONAUTs used their urine as their drinking water it is a fact, unlike FECES of Animals,chicken which carries bacteria like E.COLI or salmonella human urine poses no health risk.The use of human urine has been practiced already in Sweden and other parts of EUROPE ,WEST AFRICA AND U.S.they use urine -fertilizer technology for 15 years already particularly in SWEDISH AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE where they even set laboratory facilities for that purpose.In the U.S. There is a company the RICH EARTH INSTITUTE who collects urine from residences then undergoes pasteurization after which it is given to farmers who cannot afford to buy commercial fertilizers for FREE.Because of ammonia which is nitrogen these minerals help plants grow fast with thick roots ,greener leaves and robust sweet fruits . How to prepare it? Collect urine Put it in a jug and close it tightly as it stinks and you will lose nitrogen in the form of ammonia ,if it is left open.You can combine it with water inside the jug ,the ratio is 1 part urine and 2 parts water store it for 1 week to neutralize if there is existing bacteria in the urine.or you can add a glass of vinegar .Vinegar has antibacterial and antifungal properties,you can spray it directly to your plants and roots even. My friends this is a use of useless things created by nature . There is no such thing in a broader sense as WASTE . But Only a waste of resources from government agencies.Thanks my friends happy farming and remember upon waking up in the morning be sure not to flush your urine out in the toilet but keep it for a noble purpose.TNX.
