Okay, I'm going to take up 'squatter's' rights over my cabbage patch. I expect a bumper crop.

I suspect we'll be doing more night-time gardening.

Let me tell you that fresh urine is sterile (it picks up a few bacteria on its way out, but it isn’t laden with diseases fresh out of the spigot), so it’s not like you’re squatting over your leaf lettuce and taking a big pathogenic dump on your future salads.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.suburbancrunch.com/blog/2009/03/02/pee-on-your-garden/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.suburbancrunch.com/img/ACD7E0F6-0309-46A3-A442-A5D73914C7B3" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BABF38B5-E6B5-4708-AF43-CA33D7FD2D60/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
