Might pay to have a chew on some water saving granules and some biodegradable laundry detergent, bonus wetting agent lobbed in as well

perhaps whether urine kills grass is not the point... just that you dont use the toilet will save water.

Dont pee on any trees, shurbs, flowers, anything your mum/wife/girlie/whoever will get annoyed with as you may end up killing them.

The only plants that love it are citrus trees. Oh and they love swarf too!

But peeing outside isnt new...I think ive peed in pretty much all of my mates yards...and random peoples yards too lol

Ha ha, yeh it was kinda funny. My neighbors complained once, not because of the smell but coz in the cold mornings the fence would steam up as the pee evaporated!

And when I brought girls home they would complain about the smell, I just told them it was my neighbours faulty Kerosene heater.

ahhh, memories.

Urine may be near to sterile as a rule,but its full of toxins/poisons/hormones your body is trying to get rid of.Also if your system has a bacterial problem your kidneys expell it through urine.So for the above reasons it's best not to drink it if possible.As for use as a fertilizer, if it's diluted at a rate of 20/1 its actually very good.(many 3rd world countries use it). Now as for drinking it if you are in the desert etc, it acts on the body the same way salt water does,ie,it dehydrates your system..

actually drinking urine does have 1 effect. Causes serious de-hydration, if ever stuck in desert never drink pee lol

If every bloke in Australia tool a leak once a day in the back yard (where acceptable) or other outside area where appropriate, this would probably save hundreds of thousands of litres of precious drinking water every day.

As others here have suggested, buy a lemon tree. I’m in the process of toilet training my two year old son and he always takes a leak in the back garden, otherwise he’d never learn. Ask anyone who lives in an isolated area with tank water, they wouldn’t be wasting it with unnecessary flushes.
