huahe Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Is there any way to convert urine to fertilizer?
YT2095 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 sure, it`s rich in Nitrogen and Auxins, what fertiliser were you after in particular?
NSX Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Convert? Can you just urinate on the plants or whatever you're trying to give nutriuents on?
Atlantic Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 yes, urine is fertilizer. Sorry i can't be too technical, i can't remember the nitrogen, phosphorus, or other cycles. It was too long ago.
YT2095 Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 well 1`stly what animal created it? some urine is too acidic and will "burn" plants (ever noticed how the grass don`t grow too well after a dog peed or shat on it)? the main constituents active for plant growth will naturaly be the Water content, then the Nitrogen followed by Auxin (steriods for plants LOL). a goow all round method would be to add this urine to ash, Ash is high in Potassium salts, namely carbonates and hydroxide. plants love ash too, it`s good for fruit and seed production, the nitrogen is ideal for folliage and greenery, phosphorous is manly for root structure and strength. if you burn animal bones with your wood until they`re white and crumbley they`re a good source of phosphates too... in summary, burn a load of wood and bones into ash, pee over it until covered, still well, allow to stand outdoors so bacteria con free more nitrates. filter, dry and use
huahe Posted November 23, 2003 Author Posted November 23, 2003 Thanks guys. I will be doing the dirty job right now!
YT2095 Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 If you don`t mind me asking, what are you planning to grow? as some plants require different types of food and/or mineral trace elements, I`de hate to think you gave the wrong food to a plant and killed it on the advice given here.
fafalone Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Is there a way to convert urine to fertilizer? Sure. But is there a far better and less disgusting way to fertilize your plants? Yes.
huahe Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Well, I am going to plant tomato, I wonder if it will do. As for fafalone, both wood and urine is free, why not make use of it fully?
YT2095 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 in that case then YES, the above method will be great for tomatoes Faf, where`s the fun in just buying the stuff! (and I know you`ll not be able to answer that) Muhahahaha Huahe: you pee and burn all ya want to dude! I`ll back you up 100%
