Gadkari shares gardening secret, wants plants watered with urine

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday had the Social media aflush with hilarious comments with remarks that plants in his kitchen garden grew exponentially after he watered them with urine.

“I have started an experiment in Delhi....I have started storing my urine in a 50 litre can at my official residence in Delhi. It’s a big government house which earlier belonged to (Congress president) Sonia Gandhi,” Gadkari, Minister of Highways and Shipping, said at an event in Nagpur.

“An acre of organic farming is possible on the bungalow premises, which even has trees. I instructed my gardener to try urine on one tree and plain water on others. Urine is a manure which has urea and nitrogen,” he said, urging the audience to try out the experiment.
