Urea as liquid feed
 

Many, Many years ago when I was a lot younger than I am now we used to
use Urea as a liquid feed.
I am trying to remember how much we used and at what strength.
Can any one help?

I have no idea, but my experiment of watering the veggies with dilute
pee is working very well. Diluted to around 1/20 they are all thriving.
I vaguely recall urea is the main constituent of pee? I'm sure someone
will correct me if I'm wrong.

g'day dave,

yeh don't buy it, save your pee each day and mix that with some other
water we use second hand water usually dish rinse water or wash water.
usually mixed at strenght between say 10% pee to 25% pee (the common
stength for us) and water, not realy because it has to be mixed but we
like to share it around. also not much into foliar feeding all ours
goes around the root zones.

As I want to use it on around 1/2 an acre I don't intend drinking all
that much.
Pee might be OK for a small patch, but no way am I going round the
neighbourhood collecting from the neighbours.
There are enough people who come on here who take the p....

Returning, however, to our muttons, I Wikipeed, and found that
applications normally varied from 40 to 300 kg per ha, and it's "not
compatible with other fertilisers". So clearly some technical knowledge
is required here!

I believe that that mainly means ammonium nitrate, though God alone
knows why you would want to mix two nitrogenous fertilisers ....

Well, I think the precise term is "main *active ingredient*".


(A while back I was looking at creams for dry feet and noticed that a
lot of them bragged about their high urea content. The labels didn't
say where it came from.)
