Default Pee in the back yard– save water.

Encouragement is being given to guys to wee in the garden to save on toilet flushes. I just heard on the radio this morning a local politician discussing it and the benefits for water conservation, plus benefits for things growing in the garden. Well, there you go, I will bear no more guilt. Question arises though about privacy, and if seen by a neighbour or passer-by, could complaints about indecent exposure arise?

Urine is sterile - you can drink it too with no ill effects. You first though.

Dog urine is much more acidic than human urine. Also, dogs tend to go back to the same spots over and over, which kills that spot of grass. If you pee in different spots each time, then it should actually fertilize your lawn, rather than harm it.

Correct - I am just saying that in times of need you can drink it without making yourself sick. The fact that it is sterile means it is actually safer to drink than our own drinking water.

But still...

Our blue cattle dogs pee mustn't be too acidic as she fertilizes our lawn, i suppose it depends on the dog.

"When you're lost in the bush, and you've run out of water you can drink your own urine. I don't actually need to go right now, but luckily I brought some from town."

Seriously though, this is bizzare.

A mate had a gap between the garage and the fence, it turned into the ****er whenever we were drinking in the garage. The grass in there grew way faster than the rest of the lawn.
