It's Just Fertilizer - Right?

We have told Jack that if he has to go potty when he is outside playing he can just pee in the bushes. We told him this because he kept peeing on the cement. So now he 'waters' the plants. I think allowing him to pee outside has backfired. Yesterday Grace came in the house and told us that Jack went poo poo in the bushes. We looked outside to see Jack with his undies down around his ankles and streaks of poop down his leg, and a big pile, in my flower bed.
We made sure to explain that he has to come in to go poo poo, but it is ok to pee outside.
So later he came running into the living room, opened the slider, ran around the garden and peed in the bushes, and ran back around the garden and back into the house.
I think we need to have a talk and let him know that he doesn't always have to go outside, he is allowed to use the bathroom. Or maybe we will just build him an outhouse.
