Why is peeing outside good for us & our gardens? 🌱
We are electrical beings living in an electrical environment and the static which builds up in our bodies is effectively discharged when we pee outside.
5 days ago I wrote an article about the health benefits of earthing ourselves in a world where we are insulated most of the time. Under that post I received a message from @jasonb777 who kindly suggested this information and upon further research I can confirm he is right.
High salt content of urine
It turns out that urine is MUCH more conductive than water as you can see here in this home demonstration. It is all about the salt content.
My previous article on this subject concluded that not wearing shoes was the best way to earth yourself, therefore retaining the correct voltage for the optimum productivity of the cells in your body. So when we pee directly into the soil, we are grounded in this moment and our bodies are given a chance to discharge.
I learned about the benefits of earthing years ago and have been grounded ever since. I don't wear shoes by day and I sleep on an earthed bed by night.
But what about those of us who sit at a desk all day?
There are some great grounding mat options, available from Groundology
If you are not able to buy a grounding mat, and it's too cold to take your shoes off peeing outside is the perfect alternative.
I understand this is not always so simple, but now that you have this knowledge you can use it when possible.
The garden benefits too! 🌱
It turns out that peeing outside has multiple benefits for the land you pee on.
- Fertiliser
Urine is rich in nitrogen which plants love. But in order for urine to be an effective fertiliser it should be diluted with water, ten parts water, one part urine. So if you have a particular spot where you pee, you would be wise to have a bucket of water nearby with a jug, ready to add the ten parts water after peeing.
- Soil Enhancer
Urine also contains phosphorous and potassium which replenishes the minerals in the soil. If you want to give your vegetable garden a mega boost once a year, invite your friends round in late autumn and have everyone pee on it. Then put down vegetable peelings, leaves and hay as mulch and by springtime that soil will be loaded with nutrients ready to put back into your food.
- Compost Accelerator
The uric acid in urine accelerates compost decomposition. If you have a compost, your first pee of the day will do wonders in speeding up decomposition.
- Weed Killer
Don't fancy buying poisonous weed killer for that area of the garden you would like to clear? Just pee on it. A lot. Your first pee of the day will be the most effective.
- Animal Deterrent
That pungent first pee of the day is your territorial stamp which animals will recognise and stay away from.
In Conclusion
It seems to me that in this modern world so much has been forgotten and the power of pee is yet another example of this. It is good for us and it is good for the environment. Yet it is treated as a waste product, neutralised with chemicals.
There is much more I could say about the nutritional benefits and healing qualities of urine, especially if you fancy drinking your first pee of the day 😋
I will leave that for another post.
Happy peeing folks!

You can also put urine on your face to soften the skin, most people dont realise that skin moisturisers contain urine! This knowledge really is useful and Im glad more people are talking about it now. I drank my own pee for 2 weeks straight last year, and saved some too its like wine the longer it lasts the more potent, you probably know all this anyway! And it doesn't smell either when you bath in it contrary to beliefs!
Yes I had heard about all these amazing uses though I must say I've not tried too many of them. I did manage to drink my first pee of the day a few months back when I first started learning about all of this. I filmed it too! Though in truth I've not taken it as seriously as it should be taken... yet.
One step at a time ;)
Try it mate, especially on the face. Skin like a babys bum! ;)
An interesting topic and I agree with you here Sam. Grounding is so important. Even that which we urinate contains beneficial chemicals and compounds. Amazing!
When you start reading into it some more it's crazy how beneficial urine actually is!
I've tried drinking it, but not for a prolonged enough period to feel the effects. It is ultimately a massive mineral boost. Epsepecially when you catch that first one of the day!
Be careful in the USA about whipping out your willie .. you'll be arrested for "indecent exposure" .. all those cops have nothing better to do than make sure people dont answer the call of nature.
I've also heard of the benefits of drinking your own pee, but it's an experiment I dont plan to make. :)
haha! Yeah, am conscious of those pesky people in fancy dress claiming to have power over us and have some useful tricks up my sleeve to deal with them. Though always best to check the coast is clear before whipping it out ;)
And yes, I've actually tried drinking my own pee. It's not as bad as you might imagine!
Never heard of that. I believe that it’s true, I think I am quite open-minded, and still some parts of the post really sound strange :D I was wondering what is your diet?
Yep, urine drinking sounds strange for sure. But it is a very real thing. Look it up.
To answer your question it's hard to label what my diet is. I prefer a raw vegan diet to anything else but I am not so strict about it. Sabrina likes to cook so I let it go for now and eat cooked veg, with occasional cheese & eggs. Meat happens but not regularly.
Urine Charge
Sorry, I couldn't help it. I used to save my pee for the garden and this is what I had written on the label.

There is just so much being an "advanced society" has removed from our natural growth and understanding in our lives.
You're not wrong there. I discover more and more of it every day.
All that pee I’ve flushed down the toilet....it’s all gone to waste?
Thanks for this reminder, I had no idea about the relationship between pee and grounding.
Can you imagine how much fertiliser we would have if everyone just put their pee to good use???
ah, i love this post. pee is the oft-forgotten human gift to the earth and to ourselves. personally, we pee in our biochar to activate it and make awesome soil additives. it is so grounding to pee into the earth. we've resteemed your post @the-hearth, @mountainjewel's curation page for high quality earth-centered posts on steemit. thank you for sharing this earth wisdom with us! we want to spread practical, enlivening and thought provoking posts that support human connection with earth!
