Peeing on trees

I recently got pissed off by a friend who claimed pissing on the trees would make holes in them and it is unhealthy and all things bad.

Research.

Human Urine is actually used as a fertilizer. For small plants it is diluted 1:10 or more. For large trees I expect that one can directly pee, no problemo!

'Fresh' urine is actually more sterile than a lot of the fertilizers available out there. All the bacteria are filtered out by your body. Result is something so rich, it's a tad bit too rich. And also with too much salt, hence the dilution. Urine is eco-friendly. And even developed contries are looking into it's potential uses as a fertilizer.

So, hell. Pee on all the plants you want. Just make sure no-one's watching.

PS: Much consternation has been undergone by me while writing this ridiculous post. I have been ridiculed, labeled jobless and laughed at. But for the tree hugging community, this is indeed a millenious event.

Good research work! But I guess, you don't have to explicitly tell this to Indian men.

@equi
I have to. Lots of them do it in gutters and on walls and garbages and what not.
