I collect urine in 1 gallon plastic bottles. Some of it I dilute and put around a few okra plants I have planted near a concrete driveway. Most I carry to my land and put around papaya trees, moringa trees and pineapples. I've stopped putting it in my compost pile because I think it's much better to use it directly on the plants. In wet weather I don't bother to dilute it for the papaya and moringa trees. I've gotten good okra, papayas and pineapples already. But I intend to use most of the urine on the moringa trees. The moringas have been putting out new leaves since the rains have started, and I am pruning off the tops of the trees. As my production increases I want to include more moringa leaves in my diet. I like the taste of the leaves and it's a satisfying feeling to know I can produce some of my own food.
