Golden Showers Garden Party-- Befejezett!


This was just the first of several jars of liquid gold that I hauled out to the garden yesterday. I opted against the bucket method of collection, in part because I knew The Husband would freak out if there was a bucket of pee sitting around in our bathroom, but also because I was a little nervous that the kids would do more than pee in it. 4-year-olds are not to be trusted, I tell ya! :)

Really, I wasn't a bit nervous or disgusted about peeing in a jar or pouring it in the garden. The only thing that gave me a pang of nerves was the idea that perhaps I had not diluted it enough. I'm gonna have to pick up Liquid Gold by Caroll Steinfeld, I think, because this is something I feel should be done here at our little homestead on a long term basis. The whole operation is going to need a little tweaking, but I'm confident it can be done. Stay tuned for updates. Muahahahaha!

Golden Showers Garden Party

Golden Showers Garden Party - 6/21/08

I really didn't plan to do any challenges besides the Independence Days Challenge I'm already participating in because, well, that one's kicking my arse as it is. However, Crunchy Chicken just issued the Golden Showers Garden Party, and I had to participate. Had to.

Basically, on the day of the Summer Solstice, June 21st, all participants are going to pee on their gardens. Yeah, you heard me. Pee. On the garden. Okay, okay. You have to dilute the urine first or you'll burn your plants, but this really is all right everybody! Urine is a sterile product, unlike fecal matter. Truuuuust me... :D

In case you don't believe me though, here are a couple more links to convince you to participate:

MedHelp.org on the sterility of urine

Go forth and shower, friends...
