Can I use my shit as fertilizer in my garden?
I do pay a lot of $$$ for my food, so my shit is
still quite valuable and I refuse to shit in my toilet and give it away for free. So can I use my shit as a fertilizer for my garden? |

No, too many pathogens, too much chance of passing around bad germs in the ground water or by direct contact. Just because this has been a practice in some parts of the world doesn't make it a good idea on balance. David |

You sound like the hippies that live in my neck of the woods! You can use it if you can figure out a way to filter some of the pathogens out. Good luck with that.

It can be done if you know what you're doing. (I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the _Humanure Handbook_ yet.) You need to compost it for a long time before adding it to your garden. http://weblife.org/humanure/default.html You'd be better off adding leaves and shredded paper or sawdust to your garden (to use up the excess nitrogen and to build the soil) and fertilizing with pee.

Some stuff is just innately built into us what to do and not do. Human feces does have some merit for promoting plant growth. However, the same stuff is toxic to humans when ingested. I won't go into some cases where people starved for food, may have ingested same for their hunger. That's maximum desperation. On the lighter side, it doesn't seem to be doing my above ground leech field any harm. That is, after bacterial processing with foodstuffs in the septic tank. But, I wouldn't eat the grass on that leech field. Feces from all animals is broken down bacterially, and by sun and air exposure. Then, the earth makes use of it. Unless you're a dung beetle, avoiid making use of your own feces. -- Dave CDOs are how we got here. A modified version, new taxes in the future, is how Congress will get us out? |

Bob I did know one person who put his family's human waste in his compose pile. I don't know whose job it was to scoop the poop out of the toilet. He did have some if the biggest sunflowers in the neighborhood. -- Bill R.

You need to compost it for a long time before adding it to your garden. http://weblife.org/humanure/default.html This can be done safely with a properly constructed composting toilet. I wouldn't be trying it otherwise. You'd be better off adding leaves and shredded paper or sawdust to your garden (to use up the excess nitrogen and to build the soil) and fertilizing with pee. Indeed, human urine is sterile (unless you have a urinarty tract infection) and a good source of nitrogen. It is every man's duty to water the lemon tree. I wouldn't be sexist about it but when I have suggested in the past the ladies get involved too they don't seem to accept the idea so well. David |
