@Raven_Moonwood Oooooh. I'll be highlighting that for #SolarPunkSunday! That sounds like an excellent read!

And if you want to go the scientific route, it seems that boiling may help to concentrate urea -- but do it outside!

Also, fresh urine is best to dillute and use in one's garden... After time, urine changes into ammonia and then would not be good for one's plants!

This is definitely a topic I've done a bit of research about, and will dig deeper into for #SolarPunkSunday!

"Using Urine to Feed Plants

Not many people talk about it, but lots of home gardeners do use their pee in their gardens. This practice is centuries old. Some gardeners will use it around fruit trees, or in their flower gardens. Some add it to their compost piles, or to strategically placed straw bales that later get added to compost piles or used to mulch vegetable beds.

Worried about the smell? Read below about dilution. Any smell will dissipate within minutes of application."

Three weeks on and there’s not much difference to be seen with the hoverfly lagoons.

Hopefully they are on the way to becoming hoverfly irresistible habitat.

So, my reason for participating / hosting #Hashtag events like #SolarPunkSunday and #FirstFridayArtWalk is to highlight other folks. Sure, I post some stuff as well. But the way I see it, like #WhatMagazineOnline, it's a communal experience and a way of #BuildingCommunity . Because... We sure as hell need to #UniteAgainstTheRight (and #Colonialism and #Capitalism), right now! We are running out of time, folks.
