Better Tomatoes Via a Fertilizer of...Human Urine?

I think it is not widely used less due to the "ick" factor as for liability and cost reasons. The only way to safely do this on a large (eg commercial) scale would require sterilizing the urea which would be expensive. Mostly safe is not good enough.

Also, there is no pee infrastructure in-place. How would it be possible obtain massive amounts of urea with existing septic systems? It would most like require a separate collection system. And then it would have to be trucked around.

As with just about everything, it boils down to ROI (return on investment).

Maybe harvesting Milk Cow pee. You don't want to be eating food with pharmaceutical or trace elicit drug remnants in the urine.

Recycling phosphorus is good seeing as we're going to run out of the mined variety at some point.

Here, I want you to taste this for me ...

I pee in my garden a lot

I don't understand why folk feel, it must be done by some giant corporation, and then one pays for it....that makes it less "icky????"

everyone pees for free...pee in a pail...and then put it on your outside flowers..if one feels icky about it...

I've used it on my houseplants for years...5 min after I've peed....

I even did a test...pee'd houseplants, non-pee'd house plants...it wasn't too hard to see which ones got the so called "icky" stuff...they grew like gangbusters...

but just my opinion on first paragraph up above...

Have used pee to fertilize my garden for years! Asked my Doctor about safety He said pee was sterile solution when fresh. I pee on a bed of sawdust in a plastic container, then mulch with it for tremendous growth and remarkable garden results every time. No wasted "Luxury Lawn Area" either - all food garden for a hungry world, creating "real wealth" for America! Look on Google Earth. What do you think those greener circle areas around large Asian cities is? They Humanure all the time and have the body parasites to prove it! This can be avoided, Sweden has dry composting toilet systems in use as we speak, and don't waste 16 gallons of good,clean, filtered, sterilized drinking water for every poop while farm-land goes begging for moisture, like foolhardy Americans do! Oslo, in Norway actually bio-gasses sewage to fuel for their city buses, and save tremendously on the imported diesel bill! They use the remaining sludge, treated to safety, to fertilize and ameliorate top-soil, a Win-Win, Americans, rich, arrogant "Entitled" Americans pass by! Americans pollute their own drinking water with their own Shiite and wonder why they fall behind in a much more realistic and practical world! There is a rumor, that in America's Shanty towns and hidden Hoovervilles, and among the tent cities we hide, folks are humanuring their garden plots to survive! Check this out on the net for verification. It may be a new trend in a broken and crumbling America looking for a way out of huge foreign oil bills and survival in the 21st Century, the age of Asian growth through thrift and frugality, hard work and honesty, and mostly a humility unparalleled in America!

Oh wow, that is amazing. Who would have thunk it??

This sounds rather disgusting but when you think about it its just chemicals!

Does it make a difference if it is human pee or pig pee? I don't think so. Everyone who grew up in the country and ever visited a farm knows what's best for fertilization. 'Shit' from the farm animals. If you plan your farmland reasonable and with different crops every year, you will get good healthy and tasty vegetables. Which I prefer to every gen-manipulated and over chemical fertilized vegetables you get in the big stores. And why using vast amount of money to develop chemical fertilizer, when the real deal is right in front of you. Like mentioned in the last paragraph: "It may not be necessary to go all NASA with our pee and start drinking it. But if we can safely and efficiently grow food with it, why not?"
