I've heard pee mentioned. Never tried it myself. You could try both!

No need for anything so dramatic, but it wouldn't hurt: the yogurt
needs to be diluted to milk consistency before you paint it on. So,
heck, just use milk. Or wait: they'll mature pretty well if you just
leave them alone. All you do with the milk/yogurt/whatever is speed
it up by a few months.

Your biggest worry is frost. A crack down the side won't stop it
functioning as a plant-container, but makes watering a pain. A liner
of thin poly (not across the bottom) and a copper wire tie round the
outside will usually solve that.
