#3 Do they still need "Keep Off The Grass" signs. ☺

While "One researcher has called human urine 'a treasure trove of liquid gold nutrients'"

I am sure others are wondering about the residual bacteria and related issues...

eg. A county in GA. had a waste processing plant that was offering processed human solid waste to farmers. Which used it to grow grass/hay as feed for numbers.

That GA. county now is/was paying the farmers for infecting their fields with contaminated solid waste. Many farmers quickly saw the annual payments were pennies on the Dollar and have sold the infected land to developers that are placing houses and Apartments on them.

#8 you are right, stand corrected

as an aside from WIKI:Urine plays an important role in the earth's nitrogen cycle. In balanced ecosystems, urine fertilizes the soil and thus helps plants to grow. Therefore, urine can be used as a fertilizer. Some animals use it to mark their territories. Historically, aged or fermented urine (known as lant) was also used for gunpowder production, household cleaning, tanning of leather and dyeing of textiles.

On St. Patrick's Day after some green beers, or anytime after a bowl of cream of asparagus soup.

#14 Australia, advance in neat lines
On a landscape of bland, leveled plains,
Of tedious scenery
And unrelieved greenery
Manured by chickenshit mines!
