Urine and Feces as Fertilizer 

Using Urine:

• First, collect the sample of urine (either in a container or from a UDDP if there is one in the home)

• You can choose to leave urine to sit in a closed container for about 2 weeks to protect against pathogens 

• Once you are ready to use the urine, dilute it with water with a ratio of 2:1 (2 parts water, 1 part urine)

• The leftover solids from evaporated urine can also be used as fertilizer 

• If evaporating urine, deposit it in a flat, metal receptacle outdoors in direct sunlight

• When applying the urine to the plants, do not apply them to any edible parts of a plant but rather apply the urine on the soil directly, near the base of the plant

Using Feces:

• Feces may be used as fertilizer in any form, but it is easiest to handle safely if dried

• Drying will also reduce odor, so it is optimal for those near others or homes

• You can dry feces with sawdust or sand before applying it to the soil​​​
