Pre-Micheal, when I camped all the time, I used my hardwood ash mixed with pee as plant food. (During sleeping bag season especially, peeing in a jug is not a hardship)Thanks for the reply and I totally get that people don't want to piss on their plants. I don't piss on mine either. To make this, fertiliser, you piss in ash and the piss and the ash chemically react and you end up with a mud-like product you could dry in the sun, and then mix with the soil mix when you pot up. It's looks and smells like ash
I'm using fish, blood and bone at the moment mixed with homemade compost that the hens dig through and bought compost.
I also use pee as my main veg food. I haven't bought veg food in the four years I've been back growing. Here is a good source for info on the subject.
"The exact breakdown of urine varies depending on the diet of the pee-maker. The more protein a person consumes, the more nitrogen will be excreted into the urine. Typical Western Diet pee has an NPK ratio of about 11-1-2. In comparison, blood meal is 12-2-1 and cottonseed meal is 7-2-2."
