How can I trust what these people say when they can’t even spell ‘fertilizer’ correctly? SMH...

This is how pathogens are passed on to others, including worms.

Basic sanitation standards say to not use human waste for food fertilizer.

Well, I’m sure that Louis Pasteur never considered the possibility but pasteurization of crap will exterminate the disease bacteria. Ditto urine

The question then becomes is the gathering and processing and application economically competitive with orther fertilizers

So I guess, technically speaking, the phrase “eat $#!T and die” isn’t really true afterall. Learn something new every day.

I have no idea of the validity of this article, I will say if it’s safe to use chicken, cow and other animal manure in fertilizers why wouldn’t it be safe to use human excrement ??

ARUNDEL, Maine — A toxic disaster centered on wastewater sludge, tainted with industrial compounds known as PFAS chemicals, is unfolding across Maine.
This sludge was marketed by the state government and was hauled to farms and used as free fertilizer for decades.
Over the years, the chemicals in the sludge leached into the groundwater, poisoning it and hundreds of drinking water wells.

Milorganite made from human feces has been around a long time.
It’s sold by Lowes, Home Depot and many other stores. It makes a good lawn fertilizer.

Properly treated it is safe. The Inca used it for thousands of years with great success. They were histories absolute best at sustainable agriculture.

I agree. Even we can’t survive 165 degrees.
