'Peeilizer'. . . hmmm. . . pretty good. 

If you pee in a bucket for a day (without retaining it to the point of pain
when you're away from the house) you can collect about a quart, which is
1:20 diluted in a 5-gallon bucket of water. If a person is not peeing at
least a quart a day total, their body would like more water. 

Fish emulsion is fairly balanced, also has a lot of salts (from fish, and
from reaction of sulfuric acid -- used to dissolve the fish and make
'emulsion' -- with the fishs' bones). Fish emulsion seems best used often
and weak, or in rotation with thorough flushing to get rid of the salt.

Kelp is interesting in that it contains high auxin levels and can really
stimulate plants to grow very well. . . good stuff.
