LOL first off let me state im a fur trapper & licensed nuisance animal control operator.now that being said earlier this year i ran out of Nitrogen based ferts & started looking around & thought about urine (i buy coyote urine by the galn.)most of this stuff has been aged for 2 years that you buy & it WORKED INCREDIBLY about 4 oz per 5 gln of water.of course i stopped use on my punkins but am still using it on my potted veggies okra & stuff.granted this may be bad from bacteria i dont know but at 24.00 a gln & i buy alot any way im using it next year.im think this may help me control plants a little better next year boosting plant growth without P or K until i want that...curious what some of ya pros think

With an analysis of about 16-5-6 most urine makes a good (if smelly) fetilizer.

If you would add an equal amount of molasses to your five to one blend the molasses would fire up your native soil bacteria to convert the nitrogen content. I have used your discovery for fifty years. When I wish to do foliar feeding I go ten to one. My bucket gets half filled with water and drenched both in the garden and in the compost pile.

Your bottled urine nine times out of ten contains a preservative which may be somewhat counter productive. I do not know what long time use, of said urine might do, to retard natural soil bacteria. More than likely nothing but the question did come to mind.

Sixty years or more ago my father built Stanley Hawbaker's urine collecting pens and remodeled his barn, for cold storage, of the same. That was carried on in a bank cave with earthen floor and shelving. At that time he advertised fresh non treated urines.

I have done much trapping untill the fur prices dropped.
After that time and, to the present, I will on occasion make a fox, beaver, bobcat, coon set and the ever present ground hog control, on my own property. I have tried but never caught our ever present mountain doggies. Not to mention the fun critters: moles, voles, mice and chippies.
My ten year old grandson caught his first ground hog just two weeks ago. Not many kids are having this basic training these days. We shall attempt to snare, prepair and eat a rabbit, in the fall.

Trapping should include a way to replace what you have taken...A good trapper can kill alot of GODS creatures.

BEFORE YOU START SCREAMING RIGHTS AND OTHER HOOEY,,,
I BELIVE IN THE NATURAL USE OF ANIMALS.
EVEN FOR OVER FED RICH DO-NOTHINGS.
In a sane world most synthetics would be banned
and trappers would become animal farmers/guardians.

I was introduced to trapping in 1963, I was 8. I have trapped ever since. Gone are the days I could make enough money to pay for Christmas. Too many Anti's and Bambified suburban dwellers who like to look at the cute little animals. But who do they come running to when that beaver colony starts eating the $1200 white birch grove they bought at the nursery. I remember the time I was ripped a new ass by a woman who thought it was awful that I had gotten 8 fox one day, lo and behold, I saw her a few days later wearing a knee length fox coat. Must have been one of them factory raised foxes
