Episode Synopsis

Today I will be talking with Dr. Nancy Love, a professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan, about a special project taking place in the peonies gardens at the Nichols Arboretum which is located at the University of Michigan. She and her team are working to create a circular economy by utilizing nutrient rich urine to create fertilizer. They are applying this fertilizer on a few beds within the peonies gardens as part of their study. So, they really are putting the pee in peonies!
