Researchers? Does it really take researchers to know this works when it has been used for thousands of years? If we were are more advanced, superior society we would be using our own urine as fertilizer rather than flushing it into the water supplies.

Okay, I am the mom that told her young boys don't pee in the pool and they thought it meant use the tree instead. So does this mean I can tell the nosey neighbor we were fertilizing the tree?? LOL It is better than what they said when I told them not to. Well, Kang, our dog, does it. {:-o

I am the only mom here to experience this, right? Interesting article though but I did have to laugh at the image.

This article reminds me of the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" where the Lemon tree was fertilized in this manner.

Surely it's only organic if the urinators aren't taking synthetic pharma drugs?

Might also try the brand Milorganite fertilizer. It is also made from human you know what part of sewage. Bonemeal is good too.
