Shit is the best fertilizer for food

they mix human shit in with the dirt on football fields too!

Do you add proteins to your compost?

Not exactly---do a search on 'humanure'. It has to be composted for a year or 2 to prevent spread of disease.

Manure from any meat eating animal (dogs, cats, pigs etc) is not recommended without similar precautions. Ask your county agriculture office.

But human feces is filled with Prozac and NyQuil

Even vegetables need a good nights sleep you know.

I have just started composting with humanure for several reasons -

to save water (1.5 gal of water every time I flush)
to stop polluting the planet
for my garden. I have heard that gardens love humanure compost.

I will gladly do this for a couple of years

The urine can be collected separately, cured for a couple of months, then diluted at 10:1 with water for a great fertilizer too.


Why are we spending money on fertilizer when Source gave us EVERYTHING we need for a healthy life?!



You can read The Humanure Handbook here for free:
[link to humanurehandbook.com]

everything you want to know about composting toilets, bins, what to mix, how to make the bins out of pallets.

Everyone with land should be doing this! (unless you are on prescription drugs, get off of them first and eat organic so your poop will be free of drugs and pesticides)

Great knowledge to have. EPAs been busting old septic systems and out -houses around our country and think there are very few states that allow this practice. Don't let the EPA "catch wind" of this...Gray water recycling is very cool, too. In the meantime...I plant anything I eat on the other side of my property ~ in raised beds. My favorite fertilizer is alpaca poop.
No waiting and beautiful results.

Hopefully Trump will stop funding the EPA, they do more harm than good IMO

do you raise the alpaca?

interesting
I have always heard you cant compost your poop

but give it 2 years and it is what your garden wants most!

I disagree, My plants like dead animal compost over dung. Try a test. The plants grow huge where I burry butcher remains.

Got any?

thanks, will do a test...

something else to compost - from [link to humanurehandbook.com]

What about newspapers in backyard compost? Yes, newspa-
per will compost, but there are some concerns about newsprint. For
one, the glossy pages are covered with a clay that retards composting.
For another, the inks can be petroleum-based solvents or oils with
pigments containing toxic substances such as chromium, lead and
cadmium in both black and colored inks. Pigment for newspaper ink
still comes from benzene, toluene, naphthalene and other benzene
ring hydrocarbons which may be quite harmful to human health if
accumulated in the food chain. Fortunately, quite a few newspapers
today are using soy-based inks instead of petroleum-based inks. If
you really want to know about the type of ink in your newspaper, call
your newspaper office and ask them. Otherwise, keep the glossy
paper or colored pages in your compost to a minimum. Remember,
ideally, compost is being made to produce human food. One should
try to keep the contaminants out of it, if possible.

Wood’s End Laboratory in Maine did some research on com-
posting ground-up telephone books and newsprint which had been
used as bedding for dairy cattle. The ink in the paper contained com-
mon cancer-causing chemicals, but after composting it with dairy
cow manure, the dangerous chemicals were reduced by 98%.

So it
appears that if you’re using shredded newspaper for bedding under
livestock, you
should
compost it, if for no other reason than to elimi-
nate some of the toxic elements from the newsprint. It’ll probably
make acceptable compost too, especially if layered with garbage,
manure and other organic materials.
What about things like sanitary napkins and disposable dia-
pers? Sure, they’ll compost, but they’ll leave strips of plastic through-
out your finished compost which are quite unsightly. Of course, that's
OK if you don't mind picking the strips of plastic out of your com-
post. Otherwise, use cloth diapers and washable cloth menstrual pads
instead.

I have not decided yet, what plants I want planted over my naked body yet. I think a fruit tree. Cherry or peach. or a nut tree, filbert.

ok, I decided, cut me up and make enough for all the above and some artichokes.

Don't shit on your food dumb ass.

When we go into the dark ages, you can use dead bodies!

OK I said it, people are the most nutricious.

i prefer fish emulsion
