I produce about a gallon of urine a day and I use it everyday.

I really screwed up last week when I used laundry water that had regular detergent in it to water plants outside with. That really knocked the zucchini plants I have for a loop and I thought I killed them all. But a few days ago I watered them again with a mixture of 1 gallon of urine mixed with 4 gallons of water and some of the plants are perking back up with very dark green leaves.

I watered my indoor plants with a mix of 24 parts water and 1 part urine and I haven't noticed any difference with them yet.

For my lawn where the grass is thin and brownish, I'm using a 50/50 mix of urine and greywater from my shower and I have noticed that the patches of lawn where I have applied the urine are becoming greener.
