My 2 Favorite Homemade Fertilizers That Anyone Can Make

[@Upcamehill]

I'm 57 years old and for some younger people that was gross up about this; they should try it. It really works. When I grew up we didn't have ferterlizer, so that's what my parents and other people use for specific vegetables in the garden.

[@qaz9258]

No idea how much I appreciate the absolute frankness of your video. Using tact for those who might be squeamish and yet covering the material perfectly to get the information clearly across is of great use. PS I am known to complain how we leach the ground of nutrients then repay the plants by flushing our nutrients in the river. So thanks for the backing on that as well.

[@skyhigh6]

When you are my age peeing on your hand is pretty common.

[@rosevidal8001]

urine is good in growing vegetables especially pechay and tomatoes. I'd tried it in my garden that grew in plastic containers, it yields so many fruits.

[@leonelgraca]

I moved recently to a new place with weak hedges. I did some aeration of the soil and added some fertilizer, but I think the ones where my dog pees mostly, are much in better shape, with greener leafs! Similarly, in my old place, I used to dig a hole and burry all the organic waste. And how the hedges loved it!

[@666Musik]

I use the urine fertilizer on my veggie garden, about one whiz per gallon and water the plants with it about once a week during their growth stages. Also a great compost pile activator and even makes a great all natural weed killer if you don't dilute it. I don't see it as being as gross than the common use of cow manure in the garden (which I also don't think is a big deal) or worse being fertilized with raw sewage like they do in a lot of places whose veggies end up at the grocery store. Some of these nursery supply places are selling what is essentially an animal urine and seaweed mixture special fertilizer for big bucks.

[@MrKilrico1]

Beer and coffee grain works for my plants and lawn

[@bffentertainment7848]

[@markplott4820]

I have been using pee and rainwater to water my trees and plants. they are lush and well fed. pee is great, its no toxic and its sterile . do use pee if you are using antibiotics. as for tea ( plant food ), I divert some of my green yard waste to making plant fertilizer. I use a large plastic drum with a tap on it, I store my plant fertilizer in a separate bottle. I got two going, one almost finished and the other a new batch, I rotate them. I never empty the drums, when a batch is done, empty it, then fill it with new clippings.

[@jacksawyer8379]

PEOPLE, YOU MUST DILUTE THE URINE! 20 PARTS WATER TO 1 PART URINE!!! Maybe you should stress this fact first, because I know the moment some people hear urine is high in N, they get so excited and immediately run outside and pee on their plants.

[@ForEverydayPeople]

That's what I thought immediately. Good point to make.

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Yeah, you can't do that, it does have to be dilluted. You could pee directly on your compost pile, but not on the plants. He did say that in the video, after all.

[@josecarlosamador]

Jack Sawyer ideally you want to use fertilizers in low quantities and High frequency. for small plants Urine would have to be diluted but its not like youre gonna kill the plant by pissing on it once.

[@shinchiwarrior]

no.. ok to just pee on the plants.. as long as its on your neighbours..

[@qaibthai8996]

stop cracking my egg. hahahha

[@TomNouri]

it would be more accurate to say normal urine is sterile. the kidneys do process body's toxic nitrogenous waste product excreted as ammonia. I dont think anyone is afraid of touching urine because "its toxic." more likely that they think its not clean when in fact its sterile. thx for the tips :)

[@creepyloner1979]

urine isn't sterile, that's a myth.

[@PaulPhoenixxx]

My mum used to grow large plants indoors. Sitting room, hallway etc. As little boy, when i felt lazy about going all the way to the bathroom, i just pissed into the large flower pots. I began noticing how the plants blossomed few days to weeks afterwards. So every few months i gave the plants a little piss boost😁👍🏼

[@MarissaBjobs]

I remember my mom when we are still young, use to gather our urine in a big bucket every morning, we use bucket when we pee, then she will gather it and put a lot of water in it and water it to our pomelo. She is telling us, it is the best fertilizer. It is true because, our pomelo yield a lot of fruits and it is really very sweet. Funny to say, when i watch your video, I realized that it is really proven true. And many are using this as part of their organic fertilizer. Thank you in sharing

[@jamestriplett790]

In the fertilizer bucket, add some leaf mold soil from the woods to ferment the inputs.

[@razamadaz3417]

i drink lots of coffee will my plants be able to sleep at night?....thanks in advance.

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

My dog would pee on our fruit trees quite often that eventually they died... I was so frustrated with my pup but eventually got over it and accepted that it was his yard.... that was until my neighbor saw my frustration and told me that every time my dog peed on my trees to follow it with some water to dilute his urine, and the wonders I would see... she was right, it was a life plant saver tip.

[@grahambull846]

Just wondered about covering and protecting from oxygen. I read somewhere compost tea it good to aerate with air (an aquarium pump) for about 2-3 days rather than leaving it.The reason being it creates aerobic bacteria rather than anaroebic. Just wondered what you thought and whether this applied to fertilizers made from comfrey, weeds etc?

[@maximilian333]

Graham Bull I agree that aerobic bacteria is what you want to end up with before applying. Anaerobic fermentation works quickly, but I prefer to perform a second phase where I create aerobic conditions for additional processing. A swampy anaerobic brew is what kills roots and rots plants. Not to mention human pathogens (disease-causing, dangerous bacteria as in botulism). You can even just stir it up daily to prevent the swampy, methane smells that arise if you simply let it sit and rot. This is why in the wild, "standing" water has always been considered dangerous, and "running" water safer to drink.

[@DrManavTomar]

my dogs pee on plants and lawn grass which have killed few plants and grass is turning yellow .

[@arnoschockaert]

yes, the problem is dogs tend to pee in the same place, right? So you are burning the plants - to much nitrogen.

[@moliveira8334]

Manav Tomar just add 2 or 3 parts of water to one of urine.

[@theuglykwan]

Manav Tomar That can happen if it is not diluted and is concentrated urine. If you dilute it, it works decently as a fertilizer.

[@pdfbrander]

arno schockaert Your dog is a bitch right? Male dogs don't generally cause a problem because they like to spread it around (scent mark), where as bitches will just empty all their bladder in one spot. Male dogs don't put enough down in one spot to cause a problem (usually). If your dog isn't a bitch, he probably needs longer/more frequent walks so he is not having to dump all his urine in one spot in your garden.

[@20bdl00]

Dan Blackburn haaaaa so true

[@smb123211]

Peeing is also good for speeding compost (we live in a wooded cul-de-sac so it's a little safer). I told my sons about this when they were little and of course they and their buddies loved to "help", thought it the greatest fun in the world.

[@iinvokemyfirstamendmentrig7937]

I "experimented" with urine a few months back. The "experiment" was to test the saying that human urine deters deer. An unexpected side effect was the grass grew wild where I "placed the urine" compared to areas I did nothing to. From this I deduced urine must have some nutrients and a lot of nitrogen. Didn't deter the deer.. but cayenne pepper sure did!

[@junkead]

Stinging Nettle is not weed. Its beneficial to you in so many ways.

[@mrwht]

I would add sesame seeds, yogurt & dechlorined water. Seal up in a container for 5 days. Take out the solids & throw into compost or bury. Dilute the liquid & water plants.

[@sanjeevsable3978]

Thanks for this information,I shall definitely start working on this on my farm

Klein...sex to SELL/MKT ing acceptable.....anyway,we are weird monkeys.........................................

[@gladmama]

To add to these, adding some compost on top of the pile will stop the smell, even if you urinate on it, the microorganisms in the compost will break down the anaerobic organisms that make it smell, in shorts the smell will go. Thanks for the vid Phil.

[@elainekain]

"Dandelion, comfrey, yarrow, stinging nettle..." Had to smile, these are the plants I harvest from nature for various uses! Healing lotions, teas, salad greens - no wonder they make such a healthy compost!

[@MISHA12314]

Just thought of something.... The liner in packs of cut up chicken have blood , aka blood meal that's not dried, and water holding gel that improves soil composition. Bet opening them up and adding to garden soil would improve it.

[@gladmama]

All may be called compost tea as long as it has liquid in it and it's fermented with organic matters.

[@darkanser]

The contents of a septic tank makes great fertilizer too. it's hard to imagine harvesting what is essentially sewage to spread around your garden. Fish parts and egg shells make great fertilizer too.

[@sunilnand62]

[@Laura_B__]

Thanks for this video! After reading the book The Resilient Gardener, where the author advises using urine as a free high-nitrogen fertilizer, I started using diluted urine on various parts of my garden, and I find it works great to make plants green and healthy - especially corn, which needs lots of nitrogen. I had a patch of corn last year which was yellowed and weak looking, and using diluted urine on it several times brought it back to green and healthy. I also add urine to my compost bins when I think there's too much high-carbon material in there. It totally works and there is never a smell. It's nice to see another gardener as weird as me out there. :)

[@delawareteacher1182]

I also pump my KOI pond onto my garden for run-off and it makes sense that your idea is great too!

Hey how many times can you use the same weeds to ferment. I am thinking of getting a 50 gallon rain barrel and doing just what you suggest keeping it next to my compost bins so I can add to it easily. But I want to know how often to replace the weeds inside.

[@cmk1964]

Ok, I'll go pissing around the garden on a regular basis.

[@123kkambiz]

you can't urine at one particular spot, you have to change the place every time you piss otherwise it will bern the vegetable roots.

[@123kkambiz]

and after pissing cover with soil it won't smell after wards.

[@Ed19601]

what used to be done on farms is that there was a haybale that all the farmhands pee'd on. After a while that hay (or straw) bale would be great fertilizer

[@vicpare1102]

for best results, water it after peeing. the water neutralizes the urine and the plant would like it. also, it does not stink so bad.

[@bffentertainment7848]

Hi Phil,could i add a little molasses to the tea while fermenting?if yes how much for a 5 gallon bucket? I heard coffee grounds are good too.

What do you do with the "tea bags" - the soggy weeds after you pour off the tea? Are they sufficiently dead so if they're thrown on a compost pile, the weeds won't reproduce?

[@fjoa123]

are there any herbs that might do HARM, or be poisonous and should be avoided while collecting herbs for tea fertlizer??

[@chaseme81871]

urine is not toxic as it leaves your body, as the temperature starts to cool it becomes bacteria ridden.

[@rockshot100]

If I could interject here, I saw this British guy use a flower pot, or you could use a soda bottle upside down (bottom cut off) stuck next to the plant aimed at the roots. And don't forget to "foliar feed" with a hose end sprayer!

[@EVZebra]

Put the weeds you have pulled out on the lawn and ride over them with the lawn mower, they will end up in the bag and they will be chopped up giving access to the inside tubes, this will make your fertilizer tea even stronger.

[@lizardfirefighter110]

Many years ago I had heard that urine was good for plants, so I poured some around my good looking potted plant. It died! My girlfriend laughed! Now, I know that I should have added twenty parts water first!

[@michaeltan5437]

Hi Phil! Was wondering when do i feed my plants with this urine fertilizer? Do I use it every time i water my plants? Btw., I have cannabis plants on vegetative stage and don't want them to burn with too much fertilizer. Thanks!

[@Smilinggardener]

I'm not sure exactly how often to use it, but not too often - plants don't need all that much nitrogen. I'd say like once/month as a rough guess.

[@1too3fore]

with a 10 or 20 water to urine ratio, it's safe to use every day.

[@deangermeten5629]

Air does no harm and can actually help fermentation, I did something similar this summer, my 20 gal. bucket had holes that emptied into a large plastic bowl. When it rained, water percolated down through the (mostly dandelions) biomass, making a very strong compost tea; tiny worms grew in the liquid and died, contributing nitrogen. (It do stink though.) I bunkered about 20 gals. of effluent. My tomatoes loved it (diluted 4:1 water/tea) and it saved my garden. Research humic & fulvic acid, the health benefits to plants and humans is astounding.
