Quick Poll on wether you Urinate on your Tomato Plants or not and why

What…? Why..?

Some would say the properties in urine are very good at helping tomato plants grow

What a question to ask when its lunchtime

I have no tomato plants, I hate tomatoes....and I certainly would not pee on them if I had tomato plants.....sounds disgusting quite frankly

I did say I’ll try to write some interesting thought grabbing content for the forum

I didn’t say what type of content

I put salad cream on mine.







C'mon...someone was bound to say it sometime. It's the Law.

It’s just like feeding plants with fish water. Yes there’s food in it for the plants, but it’s extremely dilute compared to water with a dose of plant food in it.

I once spent a couple of...erm...'trying' summers, working in a market garden greenhouse, harvesting tomatoes.
Whilst urine does contain nitrogen-based compounds, usually beloved of most plants, urine also contains a plethora of other chemicals and minerals. Also be aware that the pH can be non-conducive to tomato health.
Urine should not, therefore, be applied directly to the tomatoes.

All that said, if it is applied to the ground with, for example, ash from the bonfire, it does make good fertiliser.

I've heard its good if you are composting things as well. My neighbors didn't seem to think it was a great idea though....

Don’t take drugs and then pee on your toms as the drugs can pass through

Or if you do take drugs this is maybe a good way to get a second shot of them for free?

OK @fishyfun&fans

If you go out on the razzle at night and get blind drunk....will that give you pre-pickled tomatoes if you pee on them the next morning?

I have to say in my fifty or so years of gardening, I’ve never used human waste on my tomatoes or any other plants. I do use some of my aquarium water but mostly on my roses and azaleas. I am a firm believer that meat eaters waste should never be used unless it has been treated and then I still wouldn’t use it. Plus, you know, if you pee on your tomatoes and you have hepatitis and somehow a transfer happens from like an insect or bird and then other people could become infected.

I’m really finding it funny to believe I’ve got us all to talk about pee’ing on tomatoes

Amazing!
