I piss regularly in certain places in the backyard. Not for any particular reason other than they are good places to take a piss; out of sight of neighbors and such. The grass and weed growth in those spots is off the charts. Makes me consider pissing in the veggie or herb garden, but that would be disgusting. So, my liquid gold is reserved for the spots in the lawn where I won't frighten anyone.

If it goes directly to plants it takes longer to end up in the water.
