EEEWWW!

Plus...there's a tube...that means in the summer I don't even have to go back inside to pee.

My plants get a combination of ovine and human urine...and the odd squirt of canine, filine, lapine, rodent, and batrachian urine. Of course, birds mix their urine with their feces as it comes out, so my plants get fertilized with a bit of bird urea along with the uric acid crystals expelled by the insects and spiders inhabiting the garden.
