I have tried this experiment, although I kept the samples at a low temp in a refrigerator for a little more than one year. After completion I dumped all of the samples in the woods, and let me tell you they reeked. From what I've looked at the urea in the urine turns into ammonia, which I can say is definitely the case since I recognize the smell. When urine exits the body it is also a prime environment for bacterial growth, which is why I worried that it might be a bio-hazard. To be honest I think that the bacteria grew, and then all of the usable resources were consumed, followed by too much waste. Everything in there was probably dead even though the cold temp would them down, if the ammonia didn't already kill them.
