Pee in the back yard– save water.

[max]

Encouragement is being given to guys to wee in the garden to save on toilet flushes. I just heard on the radio this morning a local politician discussing it and the benefits for water conservation, plus benefits for things growing in the garden. Well, there you go, I will bear no more guilt. Question arises though about privacy, and if seen by a neighbour or passer-by, could complaints about indecent exposure arise?

Surely it will kill the plants, dog pee on the lawn kills it, whats the difference?

[Scott]

What a great idea, I've got some weeds growing on the nature strip I will give a squirt round lunch time.

[bArNsY]

If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down!

Urine is sterile - you can drink it too with no ill effects. You first though.

Dog urine is much more acidic than human urine. Also, dogs tend to go back to the same spots over and over, which kills that spot of grass. If you pee in different spots each time, then it should actually fertilize your lawn, rather than harm it.

Correct - I am just saying that in times of need you can drink it without making yourself sick. The fact that it is sterile means it is actually safer to drink than our own drinking water.

But still...

[bencat]

What in a flat, think it's ok to pee off the balcony?

You say it's safe to drink, but would you wash yer car in it ? :P

Our blue cattle dogs pee mustn't be too acidic as she fertilizes our lawn, i suppose it depends on the dog.

[gozza]

you can buy water bowl pellets that supposedly reduce the acidity of the dogs urine

[Focussed]

my hounds wee on the lawn all the time. in the spots where they wee, the lawn is greener & more lush!
i wee on the lawn most days. when you wee on the lawn, you dont get he misus whinging about putting the toilet seat down!!!

Always have anyway so no saving from me

[LTDHO]

Cool, so not it's OK? For all this time it was wrong!

Ha ha

[Kapn_Kiwi]

"When you're lost in the bush, and you've run out of water you can drink your own urine. I don't actually need to go right now, but luckily I brought some from town."

Seriously though, this is bizzare.

Sure does kill the lawn. Our loo is outside so at night i use the toilet and the other half uses the lawn. And there are two brown patches where he pees!

[HOON69]

Urine?

yeah lets do that fellas like we havent been ****ing on walls and garden beds since the beginning anyways :

anyways urine is No1 fertilizer but too strong and it kills the garden it has to be watered down.

Will just drink more beer then :

I can see it now, sit down with a case on a Saturday arvo and get stuck into it, when I get yelled by the Mrs as to what the hell I am doing, I can simply reply going to water the plants ............ LMAO

[DEVL-XR]

right behind my bungalow theres a massive dead patch of grass due to me peeing there all the time! i rarely use the toilet inside unless im in the house!
so for the answer of does it fertilize the plants i'm voting no, it kills it!

[Psycho Chicken]

A mate had a gap between the garage and the fence, it turned into the ****er whenever we were drinking in the garage. The grass in there grew way faster than the rest of the lawn.
