Default Making my own fertilizer

Hi. I'm new to rec.gardens. Lately, I have been lurking and reading
many of your posts with keen interest and have finally decided to jump
in and ask a question to all of you seasoned gardeners out there. Is
it considered safe to use my own feces for fertilizer?



Yep. It has been used for thousands of years, and still is. The
main safety issue is about different people contributing, when
some individuals have infections/parasites. You need a long
time-frame, and, preferably, hot-composting, with the right
proportions of ingredients, and the right total volume.

I recommend the Humanure Handbook:

BTW, for those folks out there who think that this is soooo
primitive, consider that a major commercial compost supplier in
my area includes "biosolids" from the municipal sewage plant.
Totally legal and legit.

I aspire to live in a rural area, with solar electric, rainwater,
etc. And the toilet issue will be solved quickly, simply, and in
an environmentally-friendly manner. That means Humanure feeding
my veggie garden.


Before you all
sigh a collective _gross_ hear me out. I'm an avid gardener and an
ordained member of JR Bob Dodds sub genuis organisation. My name there
is Reverend Gas Fartus Maximus.
Here is a link to his website if any of you are curious or bi curious.

There's no prob with "Bob." So I expect that he would approve of
Humanure.


Being a minister, I frequently have to evacuate my bowels because most
of us eat a lot and are full of waste.



Yes, that is common. I expect that Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swagert
would agree.


One day, my plumbing was backed
up in my flat and I found myself without a lavatory for a couple of
days. When nature would call, I would wander out into the backyard,
squat down and pass mud (mud being stool.)
I noticed that my garden did fairly well within a matter of days and
then it hit me. People fertlize with cow manure all of the time. Why
not human waste? Am I onto something here?



Yep. See the above URL reference.


PS- Will Miracle Grow do anything to make my penis grow? I can apply
it in the shower.



No. For that, you will need to buy those pills from spammers.
They aren't as entertaining as trolls.


It makes a blue mess but Lysol cleans it up spic and
span. Speaking of spics, how many of you employ doemstics to work in
your gardens?



No, I *am* my own cheap foreign labour.
