Has anyone here used urine as fertilizer for their giant vegetables?

It would take a lot of pee to fertilize a giant pumpkin. You might have to set up a beer tent next to the patch.

Some countries use urine and and feces to fertilize crops. There are sanitation issues, but as long as it is diluted till it it is clear, it won't kill the plant. Giant pumpkins use so much water that it would take the urine of several people to contribute much after it fills out the patch. Early on be careful of the salt content burning the roots. Think of the brown patches dog urine leaves in a lawn.

Its about 10:1:4 of course it varies on the person and what you take in but that's the general ratio. Just wondering if anyone has had success with it.

dont pee in the same spot( it will cause a big yellow ring of death) suggest you pee while running around the patch?
both males and females may participate.
seriously though? its not worth the trouble- to many great products available with better results.
