Urine My Data: Insights from Rich Earth’s Global Survey for Peecycling Gardeners

Discover how home gardeners are transforming their gardens and protecting the environment with the power of peecycling. Rich Earth’s “Urine My Garden” program helps gardeners to reclaim urine as a free, sustainable fertilizer while reducing nutrient pollution in our watersheds. Join us for our 2025 kickoff webinar to hear insights gleaned from over 200 gardeners who’ve shared their experiences in our global survey. Drawing on four years of data, we’ll explore:

• Fertilization Methods: Practical tips for using urine fertilizer effectively.
• Garden Observations: Experiences with the wide range of crops fertilized and their responses to urine application.
• Storytelling: Hear spotlights from gardeners about their motivations, personal reflections, and memorable moments with peecycling.
• Deepening Connections: Discover opportunities to run your own garden experiments, connect with community-scale hubs, and join a growing movement of changemakers.

Join a network of peecyclers to build on shared knowledge, celebrate this often-hidden practice, and amplify diverse perspectives on completing the food nutrient cycle. Whether you’re curious about getting started or already a seasoned peecycler, there’s something for everyone!
