Thanks for the comments, Ossi. I recently had to keep some of my urine in plastic jugs for more than a week. It didn't smell as badly as I thought it would when I used it on my plants. I am on a low fat and low protein diet, and what you say seems true. During wet weather I don't always dilute it when applying to papaya trees. Even when I dilute it I don't use much water. 1 in 10 seems very dilute to me. I may dilute it to 1 in 3 or 4. I've never had any significant odour problems because I rotate the plants on which I apply it, sometimes I'll feed papaya trees and sometimes I'll feed moringa trees etc. In any case I don't save all of my urine. Even if I could save all, I don't think I could grow the amount of cabbage that's given in the article, I think my urine has much less nitrogen than the average person.
Charles - growing with the flow.
