If you find yourself driving in the middle of farmland with nowhere to, well, relieve yourself, look for the nearest field of corn, tomatoes or cucumber. A Finnish study showed that human urine is a remarkable natural fertilizer for these crops because urine is rich in nitrogen, potassium and phosphate -- all ingredients plants love. In fact, tomato plants that were fertilized with urine produced 4.2 more tomatoes than plants that were grown traditionally. Whether or not you try this in your own garden, it's good to remember natural ways to fertilize are always better than chemically produced ways.
