I only put it on the orchids potted up in lava rock. And it is very diluted.
I read about urine therapy and how urine is used to cure a lot of things. I used it to remove a planters wart my son had on his foot.

Urine itself it sterile when it leaves the body.

I though it might be a good since she is receiving all nutrients thru breast milk and organic foods she has.

The rocks don't leave a smell either.

Re: elimination communication, we just took the kids to the pot when they passed gas, or just looked like they needed to go.

Re: urine being sterile l'm not sure why you brought that up, but I'm guessing that it has to do with my wastewater comment. If I'm right, then you've misunderstood me. Lab equipment must be calibrated for certain ranges of chemical constituents. Stating the sample is wastewater merely gives the lab an idea of its characteristics, and tells them how they might need to set up testing (dilutions) to keep within calibration ranges.

That's just a myth. https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/gor...ither-rest-you

While I don't think that experimentation is at all bad, caution with any organic method should be taken (based on experience which is detailed below). I have found that a person will become accustomed to the smell of their home and not notice odors. (If you have cats, dogs or other pets, you don't notice the pet smell but visitors who don't have pets certainly do. I have the dogs. I don't notice a doggy odor.)

I am not one to judge, though, because I use some fun stuff, too. I use powdered milk in my watering can when the orchids are outside. It is an old gardening thing I learned when I started growing my beloved herbs. Seems to work better than the Cali-magic I now use indoors. The orchids love it but I noticed the orchids have a bit of an odor.... I tried it one year indoors and within three days I had to rinse through all my orchid pots and clean out the saucers.

Then there is the organic fertilizer I buy for my other plants and the bone and blood meal for the outdoor fruit trees. Hold the nose! When I apply this to my houseplants indoors, even carefully burying it, my family REALLY complains. :|
