    Kylie, I have heard the same thing for plants, but I have never tried it. And being a nurse I have heard other things that I haven't tried either :)

    I tried this about 30 years ago with some sort of annuals, I don't remember what. It was a science project for school. I do remember that their was no difference in the rate of growth.

    Kylie.. you are a "nut". You know, I wish I needed the BC pill.. I worked in a Dr's office for years, and he had this big old cactus that I just hated. And everytime I had expired injectable drugs, I would shoot that old cactus up !! LOL Never did kill him.. I guess it's still around..

    Ok - the next suggestion about weeing in a plant, I'm outta here because I'll know you guys have lost your minds! (grin)

    Cold coffee, aspirin, coffee grounds, canola oil, ground egg shells, weak tea, murphy's oil soap, birth control pills, . . .worried? Nawwwww. . .(grin)

    weeing in the plant was the thing I wasn't going to mention. I have had someone pour a patients IV nutrition (TPN for you medical folks) in a plant at work, it just made a sticky mess and talk about attracting bugs.............eeeeeek!

    Lol, that is so funny. I have a plant at the shop in a planter by the bay door and I kept forgetting to water it where it was at. I told my husband that plant must be drought tolerant it hardly got watered all winter and him and all his friends died laughing. I was like what's so funny and JD said we water it for you all the time but not in a way you would like, lol. I just walked away. Its doing better than the one I water so maybe they have something there, lol.

    Oh nooooooooooooooo. . no no nooooo. . I'm sorry, if I'm that bad with a plant that someone has to wee on it or in it, I'm gonna buy plastic or silk plants and find another hobby!

    LOL. . .

    They didn't have to they are just being men and too lazy to use a bathroom when there is a perfectly good tree or plant close by, lol. Good thing I only put stuff there I expect to die or maybe thats why most stuff there dies, lol. The wild iris I put there is doing fine.

  • 18 years ago
