    Very nice and still ugly…. A friend of mine told me about a project he was doing to grow plants in tubes. Urine can act as a substitute for soil. Apparently there is only one thing to consider, to eat only vegetables and fruits from your own plants, otherwise its effect would be harming. Does that count for the urine-water converter as well?
