Urine the Garden?

We collaborated with Rich Earth Institute this summer to see the effects of their initiative. The plants in their demonstration garden sure seemed to think the extra nutrients were pretty tasty! They observed corn and squash plants grown with urine-saturated wool pellets to be growing larger and greener than plants grown with only compost. The Rich Earth Institute recycles urine into fertilizer, eliminating water pollution and supporting sustainable farming. Check them out at https://richearthinstitute.org/.

Would you look at those happy plants grow?!
