The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants

Featuring a short history of urine use -- from ritual to medicinal and even culinary -- and many whimsical illustrations, this great bathroom reader is an ideal gift for irreverent gardeners, homeowners, campers, environmentalists and anyone who urinates.
