Default human urine as fertiliser

My grandmother won prizes for her tomatoes which were watered with urine
from her 'potty' (pre-war) but do not know how much the dilution was,
probably just topped up the potty with water! Would not use solids though.
Very particular was granny.

Best wishes,
Jeffery.

On our allotment there is no functioning toilet, and my thoughts have
recently turned to the topic of composting human manure. I've been
checking out various things on the internet, and composting human
faeces seems to be fraught with all kinds of difficulties. But some
people are suggesting that it makes a lot of sense to focus more on
keeping urine separate from faeces, and using it as a rich
bacteria-free source of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
