The Best Organic Fertilizer for Plants (Part 1) | It's Free and Urine is Full of Nutrients!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2017
- I'm completely amazed with the results of this organic fertilizer. It's the best fertilizer I've ever used on my plants and also the cheapest. I'm never looking back. Urine is full of nitrogen as well as other nutrients for growing plants and it's free. The npk ratio of urine is 10-1-4 and it just so happens that urine is completely sterile when it comes out of your body so it's not quite as gross as a lot of people think. Give this a try and be completely amazed with the results!

Man, I am so stoked you made this video and are getting more people used to the idea. I grew up in the german biodynamic scene, so using urine as fertilizer was an integral part of my childhood. One thing I would like to point out is that in your situation there, your plants are heavily nitrogen depleted because of all those fresh wood chips pulling nitrogen out of their environment to fuel their decomposition. Even with the cow manure underneath it, what you had there was likely just too fresh of a situation to properly feed the plants. Fresh wood chips (as in under 6 months old) should not have direct contact with the root systems of young plants, they will totally suck those plants dry. Peeing on that really helped fix that nitrogen and general nutrition issue for you in that particular situation. BUT, directly peeing on a plant is a pretty bad idea in most cases, where you don't have a massive carbon reservoir sucking up all that heat. If you pee directly on a zucchini plant that is planted in soil, especially a soil that is relatively low in organic matter, the urine will cause massive damage to the plant's root biome (because of the high amounts of water soluble nitrogen). Woody plants tolerate that damage much better than annual veggies & herbaceous plants, but it is generally not a great idea to use urine undiluted. What we do at our place is use most of our urine to nitrogen charge our wood chip piles before we use them as mulch. High carbon compost piles or Hugelcultures are also a good place to pee on. For direct plant fertilization, we mix urine with water, blossom tea and wood ashes, in a way that the urine is diluted at a minimum of 10:1. Blossom tea is blossoms from certain plants blended in water, let sit for a few hours, then strained and the water gets diluted and used as fertilizer. You want to use relatively young blossoms that recently opened, not the old ones that look all sad. We mostly use dandelion, daisies, cat's ear and yarrow in quantity, but also other blossoms of non-resinous plants. The tea is high in phosphorous, but the main reason to make it is that it is very high in certain plant hormones that give it a similar effect to kelp in regard to immune support and growth stimulation. Sometimes I add some young horsetail shoots to it for extra silica and fungal defense. So, blossom tea, plus urine, plus wood ashes, that liquid fertilizer mix is the complete bomb. I like to dissolve my wood ashes in water, because otherwise most of it just blows away. Another thing we do that completes the nutritional picture as far as free fertilizer is concerned is that we char our left over bones (the way you would make biochar), which causes the bones to become so brittle you can easily crumble them in your hand. It is easy peasy bone meal, supplying more phosphorus and higher levels of calcium and magnesium than any of the other things used so far. Besides that, we do vermicompost in high carbon bins and use a considerable amount of biochar in our worm bins. The worm bin charged biochar is the bomb as far as slow release fertilizer and microbiome reservoir is concerned. But you really only want to do that with high carbon, high air flow worm systems, otherwise the microbial spectrum won't be right for the plants. Anyway. Sorry for the novel. But free ways to provide complete plant nutrition is kinda my thing. One of the major concepts of biodynamic farming is to NOT by outside fertilizers. I still sometimes do, but only very specific stuff and in small quantities. It is crazy how complete of a fertilizer you can produce on your own. Of course it is all labor, but once you have a system in place it really isn't bad. It only adds a few minutes to our routines. Now, I like to also go onto our pond with a little boat and fish the algae and duckweed out of there to use as fertilizer. THAT is too much labor. And so gross. It's kinda fun though. And especially the algae is very liked by ailing plants.
Fabulous info. Thanks so much. Do you have a RUclips channel?
Fantastic, brother. Thank you very much for all that info. God bless you.
So I watched this video about a month ago and since this was my first year growing veggies and obviously our soil was very poor because everything was suffering to the point of nearly dying. I started saving all our large yogurt containers and placed them in each of the bathrooms, instructing my 5 kids that, if they wanted homegrown veggies by the end of the season they better start collecting! We've been eating the sweetest snow peas, tomatoes and cucumbers I've ever tasted! You're not crazy, you're just smart. We've gone so far away from what comes naturally!
So glad to hear this worked well for you!
@@MikeKincaid79 You have to dilute urine with water otherwise it will burn the plant
Hey Mike ! Just wanted say how much I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. I've actually tried several of your propagation tricks with spectacular results. Thanks to your videos I have successfully propagated hydrangea, begonias, roses, and cold hardy summerific hibiscus cuttings, so far.
Every suggestion you have made so far has absolutely worked out great for me so I trust whatever you say about planting and propogation. I am looking forward to starting the pee test tomorrow on my citris trees that I grew from seeds and my beloved but sickly looking gardenia tree. The leaves keep turning yellow and dropping. 😢
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us viewers. Please keep the videos coming !
Debra, it's comments like yours that just infuse me with energy and make me want to keep going for you guys. Thank you so much for being a part of the family here!
Hey Mike,...I just noticed my next door neighbor's plants were kind of poor looking, so I, wanting to be neighborly, walked over and started to 'fertilize' her flowers, but now this Cop won't believe what I've been telling him. ( Any chance you can call the Jail here and pay my bail ????)
Haha, just tell the officer to watch the results in this video and he'll be peeing on his own yard.
I did, and Oh look, he's walking back here with the keys to my cell,...Thanks Mike!
Haha, you're a good guy, Reg! I can't wait to see where all the comments go with this video. Judging by the first few, it should be fun.
LOL !!!!
Ironically being locked up pisses you off but it does grow great plants. Best of luck.
I already struggle getting my family to eat my garden vegetables, do not tell them I'm sneaking pitchers of pee out of the bathroom. :-D
It's our secret!
🤣😅
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Jimmy Layne instablaster ;)
😆😆
Dude you are absolutely spot on. I know people don't like the truth. I am with you.
Thanks, Bobby, it is definitely the truth. Don't know why people object to it so much.
This is what my dad used to do and no one believed him 😂
I believe him!
Yes mine did too but he did it for the lawn. He did dilute it down a bit so he wasn't mowing every two days. Definitely works.👍
Every time I visit my dad.. I pee on this one orange tree..it grew almost twice as fast as the one near it. 😂
Hi Mike, I’m from Australia Queensland, my father was European and from the time I was little (many moooons ago) we peeed in the garden and it’s great for citrus trees, just love 💖your videos keep up the great info. Even if it drives you crazy repeating those many questions people have🤪😂🤣
That's amazing. We can be a part of the circle of life in so many ways if we are open to it. You just proved it.
Very true, thanks!
As always, a great video. Love your passion for plants and propagation.
Thanks Patrick!
I am cracking up reading people's comments!! Gardening tips and comedy!! Gardening is so much fun!!
Haha, yeah, there are some very "unique" people around here, lol!
Thanks so much Mike. I just purchased some manuer! I'm Super Geeked right now. I will add the sulfur to get the plant a more striking blue and take your advice on rhe manuer!
Thanks Sooo much Mike!
😀
Awesome! Glad you're having fun with it.
This is absolutely legit, I've been doing it for about 8years! 👍 My chili plants have never been bigger or more beautiful than the years I potty trained my kids (yeah, I'm squeamish, I'd rather use kiddie pee that is purer than adult pee..)! 😂❤
And not even kidding, the swedes have developed a 10liter (2,5 gallons?) watering can that doubles as a potty. sit down, pee and then fill the watering can up with water and water your plants! 😛👍
Btw, the urine is supposed to be diluted 1:10. And use it on most your crops, but maybe avoid the leafy greens..😉
Good idea!
I saw a video how in China they are using porta potties which separate the urine from the poop - they are even teaching the school aged children how urine is a fertilizer. There's man who shows up with a water truck, fills it up with pee and then takes it to the Apple orchards and directly waters with the pee.
ive been using this technique as well with amazing results! i have yet to make a video about it but i certainly will be soon in order to spred the growing word! i havent used the wood ash yet but after seeing this i sure will. Thanks for the great info
Yeah, I think the ash takes it to a whole new level. Can't wait to try the zucchini.
You don’t actually Pee on the vegetables though do you?
Hey Mike, I grew up in an old Italian neighborhood. Wine making and the most amazing gardens were everywhere. The old Italian men would always pee in their gardens, my mom was always covering my eyes and pulling the shades ( being our neighbors garden was in back of our house ) But wow the gardens were amazing! The tomatoes HUDGE THE CUKES ENORMOUS! EcT... ECT... YES, THIS REALLY WORKS!
Love the story, thanks for that. We've gotten so far away from nature and what works and I'm glad to be a part of bringing it all back down to Earth.
just yelling at my husband:"i need your help-------!" after watched this video,he said for sure he with my male GSD will take care my plants,lol,thanks Mike !
This is actually my research project in college. It did show promising results.
Did you find out any other useful info about it in your research?
I think number 2 has more nutrients. I do the squat and fert 💩
I grew honey deed 11" in diameter from my pee. I did it at dark and saved in a plastic jug. It works great!!! I also grew lemon trees that were 9 ft by their 3rd year. But I had to sell them. They were simply beautiful!!
I love it when you yell at Johnny!... and you are so funny, thanks for your videos, i am learning a lot!
We tolerate each other but that's about it, lol.
Another Thumbs up for you Mike! I remember when I was a kid, my Mom used it, but the only difference is, not urinate right one the plant, but mix it with water then, water the plants with the mixture. And yes, she always had the Best success with all the plants, they grew Beautifully. You did a Great job explaining to people who think it's Gross for doing that.
+Chinda Brendel, That would cut down on the possibility of "burning" any tender plants. But it does mean you need a 'dedicated' watering can.
Haha, definitely need a dedicated can. Still "watering" this plant undiluted and it keeps getting darker green and putting on amazing amounts of new growth.
Chinda Brendel n
That's my preferred method; I think it works better for females. I reuse plastic milk jugs as my dedicated watering cans.
My grandad used to do it as well.
Lol my dad did the same thing to his irise plants. Mine looked sickly compared to his. Twice as tall bigger blooms overall bigger around growth. Simply amazing. Award winning looking plants. His was planted in clay and gravel mine in sand and black dirt with some composted wood.
You’re Dad’s a smart man. I’m telling you, it works!
I have just tried it and yes quite well as you mentioned. Thanks for sharing
Sure does green the plant up!
Wow I am impressed, thanks for experimenting and sharing the results
You're welcome!
Laughed my butt off throughout this whole video. My stomach hurts now. I may try this on my slow death/dying Gardenia. Also can we meet Johnny? He’s begging for a cameo Mike.
Oh, you're going to meet him alright. I just finished filming my vegetable garden and he wouldn't shut up the whole time. It'll be out soon, Lol.
I've heard of urine fertilizer, but never got to see the results.....I'm gonna try it on one of my plants to see what it does :)
You are adorable🤗🤗🤗 Love your passion Mike!!! I have learned so much from you and you are NOT disgustuing that you urinate on your plants...I have heard about the urine method before. Keep on inspiring us to do better with our planting.. Thanks Mike 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much for your support!
Yup, Dr Mercola said to do this 10 years ago. Great tip👍😊
I think you’re so brave to share this information😝 thank you very much!!
I used to go out and take a leak on my lawn every night before I go to bed. After 2 weeks I noticed dark green patches on my lawn where I did my business.
Wow dude!! That's frickin amazing!!! Carry on !! Love your videos!!!
Thanks, Rachel, I love making them for you!
i planted pumpkin plants in tiny mounds of unfinished compost and fed them straight urine and they look so good right now so i second this!
It certainly does work
As a Trucker, I happened to always have a jug for emergencies. I'll quit dumping it and take it home.
Thanks Mike!!!
Hopefully your not long haul, haha
@@MikeKincaid79 hey mike can you save your urine up, i dont pee much, so i have a problem and i really want to use this if i can capture enough thanks, this is legit not just kidding
urine is great on the compost pile. It will speed it up too if your pile lacks nitrogen.
hahaha this is sooo funny!! will take samples in the privacy of my house then water my flowers. Can't wait to see the results lol
It works!!!
Thank you for making this great RUclips video about fertilizers !!!!
Yeah, no problem, I should probably update them with some more experiments this summer.
I"m gonna pee in my pants from now on!...wait I mean plants!
Dan Lewis 🤣
The wood chips (rich in carbon) tie up a lot of nitrogen. Hence the need for extra nitrogen.
The pee is not only feeding the plant, but it's also working to break down those wood chips a lot faster.
True
Yeah I dump wood chips on my banana plants and dump a lot of nitro on them to compost in place and feed the bananas.
Isn’t straight urine to strong? I heard it will burn the plants.
@@ronbo30
yes it does. should be diluted 1to 5 at least... but it is good for your plants. Never pee direct on plant...just around if you are to be "direct". I have compost system rather than flushing toilet so I have two containers, one for urine another for other. I have large container in garden that I dilute urine then water. It works...just don't use if medications or ill.
@@MikeKincaid79 What if you just by peeing on that one plant the wood chips underneath break down better with all the abundance of nitrogen in the pee and the plant is feeding on that broken decomposed material better than the other 3 that are just waiting till wood chips underneath them break down naturally slower without enough nitrogen so it sucks out the nitrogen from the soil and then there is not enough for the plant itself. Hence slower weaker growth.
I just started doing this, glad I'm not alone.
Oh, you're not along. There's a whole world of us out there, lol.
thanks I'll give it a try I'm enjoying your channel 👍
Great! Thanks for watching.
Haha. I love it. Yuh it definitely works. I read a book called Liquid Gold the lore and logic of using urine to grow plants. It’s worth the short simple read. I just never told anyone. Your the first besides my wife. Haha
Someone else told me about that book too. I'll have to check it out.
Does urine only would be enough, or do we need to add kalium and phospate for the plant to produce fruit?
This is true I done it to lemon tree and any citrus got heaps of lemons that year
The wood ash helps too
I live out in the country. I pee around my plants , bushes & trees all the time. They all love it. Helps keep rabbits away too. You don't have to pee on the plant. I hit the drip edge of bushes & trees.
My family use Urine and wood ash as Fertilizer for more than 25 years ago when the Chemical Fertilizer not around much yet. I think we should use Urine to fertilize our plants because we know exactly what we are going to eat and what we feed to those plants instead of whole bunch of chemical putting in our body. Love your Video.
I'm incredibly amazed at how well this works! That's awesome that your family has been doing this for years, they obviously know what works.
You convinced me but I won't dare to tell my roommates unless I don't want them to eat what I'm growing! 😂😂😂😂😂
It's our little secret, haha
Better to take a leak into a composter , less aggressive to the plants after its broken down a bit.
Lady allotment gardeners here in the U.K often have a male " assistant " for this job.
1:54, I have to pause to thank you, last week I peed on my hanging mint plant , it died, and I felt bad, but you said peeing on your plants won’t kill it, makes me feel better
Hi Mike, Greetings from the UK, love your knowledge and enthusiasm and glad I found your online RUclips video channel, going to give this urine solution to my sad rose bushes that need a bit of TLC, shouldn't be of any surprise really that body waste (i.e manure) is a source for fertilizer.
This is exactly what I was looking for crazy ass idea that works. I have some flowering plants that need some extra nitrogen.
Works like a charm!
@@MikeKincaid79 I plant bubble gum petunia's and they are beautiful and now i'm going to add the pee and will even be more beautiful thank you mike so much, because my petunia's get pretty leggy about the middle of summer, cant wait to try this!!!!
I just gave my husband the go ahead to actually pee on the plants. He is so excited that he has something to aim at now and I can’t wait to see the results.
It works!
Alison
*You're Awesome*
Bet you can figure out why 😆
Give your husband some beer and you will get more production.
I've got wood ash, I lost a tree this year due to rot (a huge 80 year old Hawthorn) and kept the wood ash in a big bag for later in the year to spread on the soil. Now you've said this, this will come in handy. I have some plants that need help. Thank you! Just wish I had better equipment for the other thing haha 😂😂
LOL, you can buy female urinals for camping.
Oh! that's cool! thanks for that! :) I kinda have it sorted now with a bit of ingenuity but that's cool to know! Maybe the Universe wanted the guys to do the veggie plots and the ladies to do the lawns, we make good teams haha!
Hello Mike, I really use alot of raw shrimps peel skin, fish stomach, and raw fish bone , after I filet the fish was caught in the gulf in Florida, I really see the difference all of my figs tree is very healthy and the leaves is bright green.
Sounds like a great fertilizer and all around soil builder.
Oh my! My neighbors will get a show with me squatting on my plants in my yard from now on...:)
Haha, dinner and a movie!
Mike Kincaid exactly lol
Wouldn't easier to grab a plastic cup before going to the bathroom?
LOL she's joking 😂
It also helps compost also. You can dilute it to spread it out.
Love the idea!
I don't usually tell my friends about it, but, yep, this definitely works! I normally water it down, though. Interesting to know that it isn't too strong undiluted.
Mike, how about taking us on a video tour of your place some time? Some drone footage would be great too!
I appreciate all that you do for us gardeners.
just discovered your channel last night and I am a subscriber and a thumbs upper.
Great idea! I don't have a drone but maybe it's time to get one. I do have a video up from this spring that is a tour of my landscape beds. Thanks for subscribing.
Yes, I saw one of your terrific rhododendron tours.
Beautiful!
😅😅😅 in California I had a lemon tree by the septic tank, I had lemons all year round, flowers and baby lemons ....all different stages. I believe you
Unlimited supply of fertilizer :)
Mike Kincaid indeed 😅
Growing on septic systems is the future
Camellia, I think I would be hesitant to eat those lemons. In fact, I would probably move the lemon tree.
I use Milorganite as an organic fertilizer and it consists of small pellets made from sewer sludge. They warn to not get it anywhere near a food source.
I don’t let it get near my blueberry bushes, my cherry trees, and my crabapple trees - nothing I’m going to eat from.
Maybe Mike will have an opinion on this
@@laurametchikoff3111 i will use the pee but not the bowel movements is another story,, i quit buying from the amish where i live because that is what they use, and the corn they was selling stunk so bad on the corn husks, yuk i will never buy from them again but each their own
I do my lawn - 50:50 and just before rain or is smells of wee.
Hi! Mike, you are funny. I like when you call out Johnny and the rooster gets quiet for a while. Haha! I just recently subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😀👍
Glad you enjoy the videos! That rooster is always trying to get in the way, haha!
That Rooter disagree with you that is why she said I can't pee.
Thanks so much for the advice Mike...I plan to follow each step carefully and accordingly!
I'm a beginner planter and I love it. Your channel helps me out so much!
Thanks again Mike!
In short time, you'll be a pro, just keep learning!
I been using my ueine for years but you should water it down 1 part urine to 10 parts water for more mature plants make a stronger brew .
I love johnny he's got a lot to say put him in the video next time....lol
I'll have to introduce him to you guys sometime. :)
yeah I want to see Johnny too. Only discovered your channel last night...Maybe Johnny's already made an appearance...working my way through your videos randomly though.
What timing, I started researching Urine on the garden as my pets were urinating on newspaper & I wanted to recycle that while improving my soil or compost.
I applied 2L of diluted urine to my lawn, just this afternoon.
Apparently urine starts developing Ammonia after 24 hrs, so needs to be used asap!
...yep it started to develop a pong! Being diabetic, I have an ample supply!
I wonder about trace elements etc...but I guess growing in soil, it will take a while for an imbalance to occur?
Heeeeerrrrrs, Kohnny!
Johnny.
Damn big fingers.
JD what do you mean about big fingers :D
GREAT to see young people picking up on what we oldies used before industry and supermarkets, nurseries etc.
In the times before town sewerage, we used human waste, [ everyone as we all grew our own food] and we rotated crops, we buried the contents of the can, and it took about a year to fill that plot, We waited a few years for vegies, but used almost immediatly on flowers.
Never spent a penny on fertilizers etc, used what nature provided. We still have the old style inside potties with lid which makes it easy to collect now...
GREAT TO SEE ENJOY
Glad you enjoyed it, Janina. Thanks for hanging out here on the channel!
+Mile Kincaid, Pleasure , I can always learn more, and the Petunias got me.. I love them, so it was great to find out I can propogate. Now I need to learn about chrysanthemum - 'mum' I think you call them.. My front garden is Hotch Potch, and the wind and birds bring in all sorts of different flowers.
Didnt realise they were Mums, till I took a huge bunch of the pink upto my mum... and the other was and awesom yellow but on 1 stem and 3 flowers, so trying to propogate that one... Should check and see if you have a vid on that one.. Enjoy, I love air-layering, and that is what I have done on my Rhodedendrum which was planted on this block in 1940, and it is beautiful, starts off pink then changes to pure white, looks like snow for a couple of days then gone... Blessings from OZ and enjoy the garden
So glad you didn't film it! And this is definitely a way I would not forget to wash my veggies! LOL. I'm loving your videos. I'm fixing to buy a heating mat. Would you suggest a certain one? Should I get one with a temperature gauge? And how do you know what temp to set the mat on when coming from seeds or propagating?
LOL, I stop peeing on the plants when they start flowering. I don't want urine on my veggies either, haha! You can use any heat mat and there are many out there. A thermostat is a good thing to have to prevent too much heat. I have a video about the heat mat I use but I recommend buying a thermostat to go with it because it gets a little hotter than most: ruclips.net/video/uU-yzvyUlEA/видео.html
would look very suspect for us females squatting in ones garden lol!
Haha, you're right, maybe stick with fish meal.
Great you shared this thought Mike, I'm definintely giving it a go (without the squatting of course!).
I was gonna suggest that (referring to your other comment). I keep my urine in little bottles, and mix them with water and use them as fertilizer. My petunias and tomatoes seem to be loving it!
I use a little bottle for collection, but empty it into plastic milk jugs and dilute with water.
Mary Dwyer actually, You collect the urine in a bucket and throw it in the garden!
That mushroom growing out of it indicates a massive microbial super highway. I used urine before too, works every time.
Yeah, I've got so much fungus under all these wood chips, it's insane.
Oh, Mike! The comments have me rolling!!! Thank you for this video- Years ago, my neighbors were drinkers- and this led to wonderful cookouts and gatherings- so much fun to recall those memories- but I remember telling the guys (who often relieved themselves in shady corners of the yard during the festivities) to direct themselves to my compost pile! They LOVED the idea though they probably thought I was just a crazy garden lady!! LOL But soon, everyone knew that when they were in my yard (which the festivities often spilled into) they peed in the compost, even the new comers! My garden was enormous and bountiful all through the growing seasons, and made for some long lasting memories.
I do have a question though- as I consider alternative application. At this point, I live in an apartment, but I have a lovely little container garden outside my window. My personal rationale is to collect the urine and then use it as a dilutant into a gallon container? I'm also fond of reusing containers and use a gallon milk jug with holes in the cap as a personal sprinkler- works beautifully. It seems like it would make it go further too. What are your thoughts?
If you like it then do it. Personally, I like to just dump it around the roots.
Hey it's not crazy it's great because your plants grow healthier, and I agree with you. Am new in gardening. Am making a kitchen garden in my yard, and need tips for my plants to grow healthier, o like this..
You've come to the right place. Thanks for hanging out with us on the channel, Sylvia!
I been peeing in a 1 gallon bucket one to 3 times and I fill it the rest of the way with water, then I use it, or even let it sit forn1 to 3 days whenever I fell like using it.
Who would have thought!? If I had known a little sooner maybe more of my plants would have survived. lol
P.S. I love to hear Johnny in the background.
Works great!
Wow, thanks for sharing... ☺🍀
My mother used to dig steer manure into strawberries and they were the sweetest ever.
It's great stuff! I love gardening organically and using what nature offers.
Earthworm castings and coffee seemed to do the biggest difference in my garden.
I love earthworm casting. Packed with plant nutrients!
It does work! My dogs peeing in some areas of the new sod, and the area where they were peeing is growing like nuts! , there are patches in the grass that are deep green and taller! LOL
Ha, maybe you can get your dogs on a proper fertilizing rotation!
Hmmm dog pee is too concentrated. Plants my dogs pee on die. Pee has to be diluted when you apply it on plants
I think it depends on the soil. I'm in Florida where the soil in most parts of the state is mostly sand. Dog pee doesn't seem to kill grass or plants here because it just runs through and spreads out so quickly in the sandy soil. In soil that holds lots of moisture in place it will likely do harm. My dogs pee all over my yard and it doesn't kill any plants or ever smell of dog urine. When I lived in NY I could never get away with that because the soil is clay based there and high in organic matter, holding lots of moisture right in place.
same here )))) got 3 dogs )))))) but we are what we eat
i agree to that cause my grandson has a dog & where she pees it grows back greener
I've been using it for a while now. It has saved I don't even know how many plants! Much better than anything you can buy!
Nice to see another lady sacrifice her dignity for her plants. :)
Mike Kincaid People are beginning to do it all over the world. I believe we're just simply ahead of our time.
That is so fascinating. Nature always provides.
Since this video, I've tried this on just about every plant around here and seen great results with all of them.
We have been using urine for centuries in the Philippines for flowering plants to bloom. Urea fertilizer contains the same chemical components as in urine.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder about the technological "advancements" in this country. The urine and wood ash work better for me than any of those advancements.
Mike Kincaid using urine is fine but as most Americans age they start taking a multitude of medications. You shouldn’t be using your urine if your on medications so an alternative is urea fertilizers. I don’t urinate directly on my plants because I have caused blooms to fall from excess nitrogen all at once. Instead I use urine to speed up my compost pile.
Not most, I know a ton of elderly healthy people too! You can get old and be healthy, if you eat well by growing your own crops ;)
Also that in the countryside of the Philippines, folks use chamber pots at night when the outhouse is darkly lit and faraway. Urine gets thrown in the wayside in the morning. We've been doing this for ages.
DUDE,, I would rather eat veggies sprayed with human urine then any chemical sprays !!! THANK YOU!! LOVE your videos!!!
P.S. I am a VEGHEAD so good veggies are my LOVE!!!
LOL you are too stinkn cute to watch!!!
Glad you enjoy the videos, Pamela! This is definitely a better way to go than chemicals.
What if use animal stock's urine instead?is the result the same ?better or worst?
Mike, just came across this video. You are a cool guy. Thanks for the education! 😉
Thanks Susan! I love making these videos for you and glad you liked this one.

Thank you... Nice video
When you first said you peed on your plants, I lost it.
haha
I've been wondering why the dandelions around my back door were growing knee high. Just kidding... I already knew why.
Lol
LOL... You’re my kinda guy!! I have shad plants that will no longer be in the shade so I’ll be transferring them soon. I’m thinking that this might be a way to help them get established faster in the new location. Root development is essential. Those plants aren’t edible so whipping it out and peeing anywhere on them isn’t a concern. You have edibles. So how did you “fertilize” lol your squash? I know the leaves will take in liquid nutrients but does the fruit absorb as well? And since it’s sterile until it has exposure time, what might be serving as an antibacterial agent? Love it, man!
Hahahaha!!!!! That's funny! I am so glad a happened upon your videos! I honestly thought you were going to talk about worm urine and poop casings!
The worms are great too, I just help them a long, lol.
Mike.....make sure before you have guest over to sample your zucchini salads that you don't tell them how you fertilizer them. Ha !!! good advice. I just pee'd on beets.
My secret is locked up tight, unless they get on RUclips of course. I'd love to hear how your beets turn out, Jack.
Last year my beets were a flop. Another attempt this year and with this new pee revelation....maybe some beets this fall? Fingers crossed. Thanks for writing Mr. Mike. Georgia grown !!!!
Wood chips leach nitrogen from the soil as they break down. Doh!
That is just awesome........ready to give it a go
Great stuff!
start pulling in wood chips, make sure they're clean - and let them sit, you can turn them once a year on top - and in a couple years they should start to turn black inside. It takes about 4 years to turn decent chips into black soil. Make sure the chips have 73% green needles or leaves
Urine has been used for a very long time. It also can be used as a bug spray.
What bugs can urine kill & wouldn't it stink up our gardens?
Oh for plants, I thought he meant for like, horse flies on people! 😂 I''m currently trying to find a good anti- horse fly spray as when I walk they chase me in the evenings. Not bitten yet, but close calls. Not gonna be peeing on myself anytime soon thou I'd rather get bit 😂 😂
Lol Johnny said he really pissed on the plant 😂😂😂
Damn rooster! Haha
Nature is incredible wow.....
I thought so! Thanks Mike your the best!
Mike...I just purchased a blue. Endless Summer Hydrangea and I'm super geeked about planting it. However...please advise me on some of your awesome tips before planting. I donot want to lose out on a 30 dollar investment that is going to be one of the brag about plants in my yard! Also...some guy I met at Menards told me to sprinkle Encap Sulfur around it once planted for better ph balance and growth...what do you think Mike?
Thanks Mike!
The sulfur will turn the hydrangea a more blue color. When you did the hole to plant, dig it twice as big as the root ball and add some steer manure or compost to the soil when you fill in around the plant. Don't plant too deep. Make sure the top of the root ball is level with the ground or just above the ground. Once planted, put about 4 inches of mulch around the plant about a foot or 2 out from the main stems. Fertilize with a slow release fertilizer and make sure to water well through the first couple years until it gets established.
Hi Mike, of course it works! BUT! I would sure warn against using urine when people have diseases that require taking regular medication, because you don't want the residues of antibiotics or other medication, e.g. against heart diseases, high blood pressure, contraceptives etc in your edibles.
So what you are suggesting may work perfectly for healthy young people; I have my doubts that it is a good idea when people are not as healthy as you probably are.
Have an awesome day, Mike
I think you're absolutely right and forgot to mention that point. I'll probably make an update on this zucchini and add this point in there, thanks.
I would say I agree with that. I used to be very healthy and took tons of good quality vitamins and ate good food that I grew. However, I am now disabled and take a ton of medicine and I get $16 a month in food stamps, so I suffer from malnutrition. I would NEVER put my own urine in anyone's garden.
Wood ashes are amazing for compost, however. I wish I still had a wood stove. It would probably kill my allergies these days though.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Maybe you can become a part of a co-op that grows and delivers organic fruits and vegetables.
I live in a little hick town in Alabama. People seldom know what organic even means, which is why I try to grow my own. I beg people on Facebook to recycle and save me their used coffee grounds, eggshells and other things that could be recycled and salvaged in a garden's compost. I've even offered people plots of land for free if they would just come start themselves a garden (I have about 3 lots of land on my property, so I am planting fig trees and such since I can't garden the whole thing.) I've talked about starting free classes on gardening and composting, but....nobody wants to "work" around here, not even if they could come to a class for free with free refreshments or have the use of a plot of land for a garden. But that's okay. I'm the little red hen. I will do what I can and eat my own food when I can. Blueberry bushes are next on the planting list. Figs are my favorite though. I joke and tell people I am sitting outside on the ground with a bib on....waiting. One of my fig trees is FINALLY fruiting and it's giving me about 1-2 figs a week. Those are happy days when I get a fig! I have an appt. with a food bank on the 7th which usually gives me about 28 loaves of moldy bread and a lot of expired cans of green beans, but every now and then there will be some oranges or something. And some of it can be composted. I was over the moon the last time I went and got those oranges. They were in date still and delicious, very sweet, and the skins got composted. Yay! I started to make some orange zest but my grater got destroyed (don't ask) and I haven't gotten a new one yet. I could have frozen them, but a grater is about #3020 on my list of things I need immediately so I figured I would never get around to making orange zest. LOL
I do have an apple tree that I will box up apples and take around and share with people, but it hasn't borne any fruit in a while or the squirrels eat them all and I mean ALL of them. The apples are very hard, green and tart and I don't like them so I figure if the squirrels want them, maybe they will leave my figs alone. I have put mesh around my figs though. Those are off limits, even to my favorite friends since it's not bearing good yet. Not that anyone has asked for any figs. Most people around here just want things from the grocery store. One friend did ask me to make her some fig preserves though. At the rate my fig tree is going, I would have to freeze every fig for two years to get enough for one half pint of figs. I can't wait until the figs start bearing for real! And I'm looking forward to getting a couple of blueberry bushes. Hoping by spring I will be able to get a couple....or even harvest the seeds from some blueberries if I can get people to stop throwing away produce they buy and don't eat.
Actually, it's not just people in this little hick town who are lazy. I used to live in Tampa and one time when I had come up here to visit my folks, Daddy sent me home with about 50 bags of fresh picked pecans. Daddy could look at something and it would grow prolifically. When I took all those pecans to work, my co-workers got extremely angry with me. They had been looking forward to those free pecans, but....I hadn't cracked them all and picked the fruit out for them.......sigh. "What are we supposed to do with THESE?" they said of the pecans Daddy had picked off his trees. It was close to Thanksgiving and I said, "Make pecan pies?" but no.....they weren't shelled so I ended up giving them to another co-worker who didn't mind working and picking the fruit out. I had to buy her a nutcracker and accoutrements though.
No good deed goes unpunished. LOL
Sorry for the length of this post. I just woke up early and got on the computer. Had to watch a gardening video or.....ten. :)
Just saw this comment. Thanks for all the background of what's going on in your "little hick town in Alabama" LOL. Sounds like you've got a lot of work to do this fall.
You guys gotta find "The gardener guy" Paul James. Compost was always one of his favorite subjects, and that included peeing on the compost. Gotta love nature. ✌🏻❤
Use to watch him when I was a teenager in the 90's!
@@MikeKincaid79 oh my gosh, that is so funny !! I really learned a lot about gardening from him.(especially the compost pile) I still remember him standing behind the compost bin looking like he was taking a whizz turning up the beer can at the same time. The other thing I remember about his show was "the garden pest". I remember him talking about how to get rid of snails. You just put out a small container of BEER. He said it didn't matter about the brand. They liked them all. The other guy I used to watch was Gary Alan. ( I think that is how to spell his name) His show was about landscaping, but since it was a Florida based show, I learned a lot about placement of plants in the landscape. It wasn't until that show that I really understood how Sun affected my landscape. Ohhhh the Good Old Days !!!! Back when you used to get quality TV programming. Thank God for RUclips programming. Again, thanks for all you do for the at home gardeners like me!! ✌🏻❤
Thanks for the really nice comment and yes, those were the good old days for me too!
Subbed!!! Best gardening video advise ever!!!
Awesome, thanks for hanging out here with us!
Sounds amazing and go to the beech and grab some seaweed for mulch every mineral from a to z and some more 🙏
Sounds like good stuff!
The wood chips are sucking the life out of those plants. They in fact leach nitrogen out of the soil as they break down. Study up on this. Am a horse farmer and after years of spreading manure/wood shavings on my fields, I stopped after learning the process is counter productive. Wood chips act good as a mulch, holding moisture and adding heat to the roots, but you need to add fertilizer in order to offset effect of undigested wood.
That's why he's peeing on them...
The chips do sequester some nitrogen and other nutrients in the first year. You just need to add a bit more fertilizer. By the second year the moist under layer is of chips are breaking down, adding carbon, trapped nitrogen and other nutrients. Plus it’s the perfect substrate for mycorrhizae. If you’re urinating on it, you’re adding far more nitrogen than the wood chips can absorb.
@oldbab
I bought a house on a steep slope and my “soil” was nothing but gravel and rocks, done large rocks. I had an irrigation company come look at installing an irrigation system and they said there is no way to dig and Zhavia rock. So, I started having the city drop off truckloads of free wood chips and they really were working in my area. I started spreading the wood chips several inches thick covering my entire yard. I was eager to start planting so for perennials I would create a 3’ by 3’ mound of raised rich soil and plant my perennial. For shrubs and trees we had to work hard to dig wide and deep holes to fill with good soil around the new tree and shrub.
Basically, I have been following the Back to Eden gardening method.
You would not believe the resuLtd.
I have my own personal and beautiful garden of Eden in my backyard now.
Go, wood chips! You rock!
Please forgive all my typos. I should’ve edited my comment before posting. I hope you can make sense of it.
I wouldn't give up my chips for anything. To each his own.
Ha! I knew it! Human beings are nothing more than fast food for plants.
Haha
Thanks for the tip. New to gardening and I find it fun, but I need to drink more water.
Gardening is so much fun and relaxing. Also very rewarding as you get to see your plants mature.
Urine being sterile has been debunked, however, I wouldn't let that prevent me from using it as fertilizer. I thought thought I'd mention it in case it would be important for anyone to know. I remember patches of grass that our dog peed on would grow like crazy. I think you handled this video well. Although when you said, "I wish I would have filmed it" I wasn't exactly sure what you were referring to. :)
Haha, I certainly wasn't referring to that!
