A coworker regularly emptied his fish tank onto his backyard tomato patch.

He would bring the results and leave them in the kitchenette, with instructions to wash them thoroughly.

They are the best that I have ever tasted.

We also use old fishtank water to fertilize our plants. Nitrogen!

You could also pee in a jug and dilute it with water.

I think the most important thing is the time between the tomato turns red and when you consume it. On a similar note, I find myself picking them when they are red or orange red, and waiting for them to turn red. I wonder if commercial farms pick them red and can them instantly, which is why canned tomato sauce tastes better than my tomato sauce.
