sometimes i talk about urine and fecies and urinating in buckets and diluting it with water to use on plants because it makes good fertilizer and all that. and i understand that some people are completely grossed out by that kinda talk, but i want people who want to know me that im not just trying to be shocking or gross, but things such as this is what i am interested in learning about which leads to living a more sustainable organic life. the things i want to learn about are more than human excrement things but it just so happens that that is one of my most favorite aspects of the whole thing.
i want you to know that
when you flush your toilet you are usually flushing drinking water down the drain where it goes to a water treatment plant and it is usually treated with chlorine. this is a waste of water. this is also flushing what could be great fertilizer. when your feces is properly compsoted it can be magical. joe jenkins, author of the humanure handbook talks about this in detail. to read the whole book for free online or just a chapter go to www.thehumanurehandbook.com
it has been said that one persons urine has enough of the nutients it would take to feed that peron for a year.
i could go on and on .
