@gailcalled I’ve been watering my Three Sisters garden with urine as well now and then, and all the plants do well, both in my experience and according to various tests and studies. It’s made up of corn (which can tolerate the most nitrogen), pole beans, and pumpkins/squash. A man in Ethiopia compared three beds of corn: one with synthetic nitrogen, one with 25% urine, and one with 50% urine as fertilizer. The urine hands down beat the synthetic, in terms of stem thickness and number of ears.
Just make sure not to go overboard. I thought for a bit that I might have given my plants a bit of nitrogen burn.
As for why the bruschetta bucket is inside, I only have a small garden outside. 15 tomato plants are in my garden proper, interspaced with walking onions, marigolds, and mint. I guess I could put the bucket outside for now, but I’m mostly intending it as an experiment. I know tomatoes in their native climate can be perennial, so I’m curious to see how these ones do being acclimated to my apartment.
