And gave it a cutesy name, too. "Peecycling" At least it's the natgeo, always ahead of the curve. Or, first mainstream media to catch up, rather.

Reminds me of this http://www.milorganite.com/.

Some studies show it as a good deer deterrent. I'm moving to the country where there are a lot of deer and plan to try it in the garden.

It sure made the deer hunter very angry when he saw me applying straight urine about waist to shoulder high in the brush and low limbs. He got no deer even with a corn feeder which got ample amounts as well.

Find this funny considering I have taken, brushed back Leaves and all, peed there and have Deer come behind doing the same. Come to the conclusion they smell Pee and that is all.

Diluted urine is about as easy as it gets when it comes to fertilizer. The trouble comes when you are collecting urine from people other than your own household. I wish I had the confidence that people would separate collection from those who are ill or on strong medications.

Peeponics is also something I am interested in:

If you are on any prescription meds and wiz in the compost you run the risk of pharma contaminating your food crops with the level dependent on how fast the drugs metabolize in your system and how long it takes residuals to break down through preheat composting same as composting manure from wormer treated livestock.

Must be different deer.

Maybe you peed on the ground. I sprayed more than waist high with week old urine. Did it ever stink. When I sprayed the property line the deer changed routes.

A proper compost pile will stay at 140-160 for weeks. I have compost 6 months old at that temperature. That kind of temperature will destroy mast any living thing usually with 3 hours. It will break down poisons too.
