weeding

[andiuk]

If i urinate on weeds/daisies on my lawn will it kill them down to the root?

I hope this does work, somebody please say if it does, i am an elderley gent and am finding it increasingley difficult to bend down to weed my lawn. If i could just stand and urinate on the weeds it would be so much easier. Although my neighbours may give me some funny looks!!!

i was thinking, more about the chemicals contained within the liquid. So urinating into a watercan b4 you go out to the lawn!

Oh i see, that would be a more practical solution, but then i have the problem of trying to carry a heavy watering can out to the garden.

Sadly not always. Some plants, such as moss, would be killed by the nitrogen levels, but nettles would thrive on it, thistles probably be ok, and daisies grow deformed leaves but cope. The grass might be killed off first, as it is not tolerant of high nitrogen. Use salt if the plants are on paths, or if on a lawn plunge a red hot skewer into them. (a soldering iron will do nicely. Or just get a proprietary weedkiller.

You seem to have a desperate urge to urinate on your lawn. Feel free, but you may well find the results are not what you hoped.
