Put dog crap in a 5 gal bucket of water, cover and let it ferment for a few days. Then pour the stank liquid over sections of the lawn needing a fertilizer boost. Do it before a rain event and even better.

Sounds like a win. You should be so lucky.

(Not really, its better imho used as chicken but some people prefer it in fish recipes.)

Do not pee on your plants, it will burn them. The article says it takes six months before you can put it on your plants, I would say more like a year (and diluted).

Yes.

Also, part of me is saying this is to kill food plants and spread disease.

My garden says no this is fake news.

Keep up with the times...science, math and health rules are all changing

Some produce grown in third world countries taste like human poop smells.
You cannot get the stink out.
I grow most everything I eat and will never crap or wee in my own garden.

This is Biden’s solution, now that fertilizer has risen 300%!

ONE part urine to 10 parts water can be used right away.

I wonder if you can just dump your urine on your compost pile to enrich it?

It has to age first for about a year, according to what I just posted.
