I see that one of the comments raised the same question as I had: what about all that salt? I imagine with sufficient rainfall, it would be ok. But, if applied by irrigation in an otherwise dry area, it could be a problem. I know in Fairfield, at the big TMO greenhouses a couple miles north of me, they had to install a huge reverse osmosis system to demineralize the municipal water they use for irrigation because mineral crust was building up in the soil.

I mean just because its virtually sterile when leaving the body (ha, urine drops the body) doesn't make it any less scary. And all that crap that it is a quite effective fertilizer. look at this laughable article from that hippie / Occupy Wall St. / organic food cult rag, Scientific American. I am sure at the end of the day we can all agree its far more civilized to put in our mouths great things like rancid pieces of pig flesh, raised literally in pig shit, filled with the marvels of modern big pharma, violently killed and then hung to let its blood drip slowly to the ground. :) Gee Whiz: Human Urine Is Shown to Be an Effective Agricultural Fertilizer http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-urine-is-an-effective-fertilizer/ http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-urine-is-an-effective-fertilizer/ Gee Whiz: Human Urine Is Shown to Be an Effective A... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-urine-is-an-effective-fertilizer/ Researchers say our liquid waste not only promotes plant growth as well as industrial mineral fertilizers, but also would save energy used on sewage treatment View on www.scientificamerica... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-urine-is-an-effective-fertilizer/ Preview by Yahoo
