Urine, liquid gold in the garden - A practical guide to producing fruit and vegetables using local urine and compost
This is the first book on urine, a veritable liquid gold that enables us to recycle and produce at the same time. In a new, enriched edition, it summarizes current knowledge on the number-one natural fertilizer: legal status, agronomic value, impact of food salt on urine-fertilized plants, health and the environment, plants best suited to frequent spreading of collected urine.
Recycling urine in the garden means avoiding costly water treatment and benefiting from a free resource, rich in mineral salts conducive to plant cultivation and biodiversity. To cultivate without polluting, the author gives recipes combining urine and compost; he provides information on the dosages to be applied and suggests two spreading methods - undiluted or diluted - depending on the chosen periodicity, and doesn't forget the special case of pot-grown plants.
In this practical manual, discover the value of this wonderful resource and how to use it safely, and adopt a new, clever and productive gardening habit.
