Reddit mentions of Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants

Urine is supposed to be pretty excellent fertilizer. There's an entire book about it, even: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0966678311/

Sewage is not a problem for any settlement if people can compost their wastes:

I have this book (well, I used to until I permanently let grandma borrow it) Growing Vegetables in Hawaii by Kathy Oshiro and it's really good for people just starting gardening. It goes over general basics like fertilizing, pest management, and amending soil, and it has specifics for certain common crops grown in Hawaii. There's also recipes for the vegetables covered in this book. There's a table of the vegetables that are covered for what season each should be grown in.

There's also a fruit book by the same author. I don't have this one, but it's similar in format. I glanced through it recently:

The same publisher has a few other books I'm interested in, but haven't gotten it yet about Hawaiian plants.

I also have the book Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants because I was curious. I don't use my pee in the garden, but I guess if I had to I understand how to do it. It's an OK book, but it's not very in depth. The basic premise is don't store urine, dilute it, and don't use it if you take medication because the chemical build up could be bad for your soil.

I just ordered Compost Everything: The Good Guide to Extreme Composting because I like author's YouTube videos, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say about the subject. He also has other books on permaculture and food forests.
