Urine is an excellent fertiliser and is safe to use
best used diluted with water between 1:10 to 1: 20 (that's 1 part urine)

The 1: 20 solution can also be used as a foliar spray against powdery
mildew
Urine is high in nitrogen so don't over-do it
Recommend having a pee-bucket for night use (the 4am pee or first of the
day is purest and most nutrient-rich). in the morning fill the pee bucket
with water and use same day
Don't store the pee or it will become ammoniacal and smell

after 24 hours can be used as a weed killer as i have seen and heard many times now. just my bit.

Another good homemade liquid fertiliser can be made from comfrey leaves:
half fill a bucket with leaves and fill with water, leave for 10-14 days
it can become a bit smelly so locate it appropriately
dilite 1:5-1:10 with water before use
