No flame. I've read for years that human urine is a good
fertilizer, and is sterile (in opposition to human feces,
which can be harmful), as long as the urine comes from 
someone who doesn't have an infection. I haven't tried it, 
until this year, once, and only on my tomatoes that are
growing in 5-gal. buckets. I'm somewhat hesitant about 
expanding to my new in-ground garden.

Some questions:

1.) What is the average NPK and mineral analysis of human urine?
    Anyone know of any studies on this?

2.) Have any of you actually used it? If so, did you notice any 
    significant changes in your gardening results that could be
    attributed to it?

3.) How did you use it (if you used it)? Straight or diluted?

It's a free resource. What a shame to waste it in case it's both
helpful and safe in our gardens.

I've never read anything negative about using it. Have any of
you?
