In the days that have followed this application, I have come to notice something else that Steve recommends in the book, though I had not fully dared to acknowledge until now... as it becomes very clear, evident, and obvious. One of the best growth-enhancing "products" for your garden's health is, in fact, pee. Yep.. every day, run-of-the-mill urine. Yick. As if the blood, bone, and poo wasn't bad enough?

My study was very simply conducted in a small, discrete area, over the course of several weeks this spring. Pepper, my small but mighty male chihuahua, boastfully marks the same spots on our daily walking route to ward off other dogs, cats, possoms, and men (he has a thing for ladies-only, go figure) from entering or approaching our front and side yard. Over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed a couple of patches of thick, beautiful, abnormally healthy patches of grass which just happen to be located in the pee spots. Now, this could just be coincidence, a chicken and egg sort of thing, but my guess is that, in fact, our dear pal Steve might actually be onto something. So maybe, on a particularly bold day, I'll test out this theory and purely for scientific progress, of course, report back. And only then will we truly know the sick, yet intriguing, pleasures of plants...
