Question:Remeber how people used to say that urinating on lemon trees gives them more flavour?
Well is that true or false?
Answers:
Not even a little bit good. too acidic & toxic.
I perfer a mixture of carefully collected santorum juices and a little whisky. I feel that this combination has caused my tomatoes to grow strong and tasty.
Certain plants may be able to use the uric acid found in pee but I have never heard this about lemons. During a drought most plants would welcome the additional water though
It is too acid. It will kill plants. Ultimately, it will break down and provide nutrition after the H+ ions have washed away.
according to scientists, your urine pH becomes alkaline after a meal and then gradually becomes acidic during periods when you're not eating. so, do you think an acidic urine is good for your plants? it could have the same effect as an acid rain, perhaps. so why not be kinder to your plants and give them good ol' fashioned water.
No. The acid contain in the urine can kill, damage or burn the plant especially if the plant is underage.
Human urine unlike feces is free of pathogens. It is therefore an excellant way to add nitrogen to your compost. However, it can be too toxic to plants in high dosages. Most compost that contains leaves and straw needs a source of nitrogen since it actually robs it from the soil as it breaks down. The short answer to your question is yes. Urine does improve the nutrient levels in most soils. The question is not so much whether to urinate in your garden but where. Good places are a foot or so away from the stalks of plants and away from your edibles for aesthetic reasons and not too much in any one spot.
Would you pee on something you wanted to eat?
I know of if a dog pees on my plants they die
2 million male golfers can't be wrong, they pee in the woods all the time or are those Bears?
Absolutely not.
The acid in the urine is no good for the plants and will kill them.
No, it'll hurt the plants, but it'll keep rabits away. Seriously, they hate the smell of human urine. So if you want to keep rabbits and deer away, then go for it, but don't pee too near the plants, since that'll hurt the plants.
