A few years ago, while trying to figure out how to get my son potty trained, I found the best method was to encourage him to water the flowers. He had a favorite spot to personally water, with two unanticipated benefits. Not quite toilet trained, but it worked.

I always thought there was so much salt uin urine that it would kill plants! But you do have a good point about fertilize from stalls!

Seems like too much salt in urine would indicate too much salt in your food? Just wondering.

Thank you both for reading the article. Urine, like all non-pure water additives or fertilizers, can be overdone. Also, depending on what you eat and drink and how much you drink, what comes back out again will change. Most people do not drink nearly enough, and everyone should be drinking over a quart of plain water per day. When you drink enough, the concentration of what goes out will be more diluted, and less likely to cause problems. However, you should probably not use only yellowed water, no matter how dilute, for any specific spot. Since my son was small at the time, it was not enough to cause problems. So just make sure you spread it around a bit, and you should be fine.
