Default P'ing (urine) in the garden

Weird question I know but bear with me. I don't like wasting anything

Would there be any advantage, or disadvantage to collecting our urine
and using it in the garden? Even if it keeps the cats away will be
good.

I think I draw the line at solids though lol


I think you will find it too strong if used neat, or direct. It is
high in nitrogen, which is why it's good for compost acceration, but
direct on your plants may cause trouble. You would need to pee in a
bucket or can and dilute it before using on the garden.
I think it's better on an open compost heap than in a bin.
