For starters, peeing in your shower can actually help clear up foot fungus. Who knew?

Pee In The Garden Reason #1: Use It As A Fertilizer

Using pee for anything other than flushing down the toilet is a little bit of a taboo idea. However, research suggests that it is actually a good idea.

Gardening Know How reports that an experiment done on cucumber plants found that the plants fertilized with urine grew in size and number compared to the unfertilized plants.

But you should know, too much pee can have the opposite effect, so you shouldn’t tinkle directly on plants.

Instead, dilute urine with water before adding it to your flower beds or vegetable patch.

Pee In The Garden Reason #2: Kill Weeds

If you have dogs or cats, you may notice that the areas where they do their number 1 business in your yard are also brown patches.

Their continued urination in the spot kills the grass due to its acidity. Your urine has the same properties, and will do the same!

You’ll save a bundle on expensive weed killer if you simply fill a spray bottle with pee, and use it to tackle dandelions and nettles the all-natural way.

Pee In The Garden Reason #6: Fight Fungus

Peeing in the shower is known to be a home remedy for killing the fungus that causes athletes foot.

The same can be said for killing fungus in your garden. Just mix the solution in a spray bottle and spray the fungus away!

Just be gentle with fungus growing on plants. If you’re dealing with a mulch or tree fungus, go ahead and use as much urine as you want.

However, if the fungus is impacting more delicate plants, be sure to water down your pee first.
