When it comes to gardening, the thought of using organic fertilizers that are free from harsh chemicals seems… well, natural! But did you know that urine is a fantastic source for natural nitrogen-rich food for your plants? The Swedish start-up Guldkanna has designed Towa, a watering can combined with a chamber pot that can be used to collect, securely store, and distribute your “liquid gold”. This nickname given to urine fertilizer may not be far from the truth if you can get past the ickiness of the pot and learn about the benefits.

I found this on the inhabitat.com website.

Well why do you think that lemon trees like it so much.

Read some time back on STUFF that tomatoes also love it

At present using sheep manure ..the real thing and not the commercial pellets .and finding it a real treat in the garden...every thing is just romping away

Hey, what about Humanure?

They reckon she's jusat the stuff.

I hear that Humanure has to have lime added. It should be treated like pig manure.

That's actually because most people would rather not have it splash onto the leaves, especially salad plants that don't get cooked.

The outbreak in Europe of E- coli needs to verified because it seems to be connected with forms of fertilisers - unwashed veges Etc.
My advise would be to avoid using uncomposted manures and to ensure the the compost is well dug in before planting.:
