graced the world with this
thought:

Even if it is composted and aged for several years?

a couple years? Why are you bothering?

No offense, but I'm curious what spawned the need to use human feces for
fertilizer when there are so many better options available other than
human, that you plan on waiting years to use?

What better options would you recommend? Do you know a richer source of
organic fertilizer that costs less?

What better use of the feces?

Why pull the nutrients out of the garden and, when we have digested them,
send them off to become a problem somewhere else when there is a definite
need for them locally?

As you say.

Someone's invented eco-toilets that start the composting process at
source. I think the only thing difficult about human waste is the
contaminants in it. All those drugs and viruses I believe.

As for years. Better that than no more clean waterways. At least
plantation foresters know things can take years and it doesn't seem
to stop them planting trees. Someone also had no problem using an
industry that will take thousands of years to clean up. I wonder why
we balk at a paltry few years to clean our own messes up?
