I used to drive a septic pumper, we dumped in the settling ponds at the water treatment plant, they had everything growing on the banks, tomatoes the size of a baby's head I swear.

You can compost it over a year or two and it will be fine it just takes time. Look into compost toilets. BTW I don't want to smoke any shit with anybody in thread....

I am doing a hydro DWC tomato grow with my 12 year old as his science project for later in the year. His project subject is "How Can Astronauts Grow Vegetables In Space?". The bulk nutrient we are using is his urine. He digs it for the pure "Ewwww" factor as he is still in the final stages of the girls have kooties thing and likes freaking them out. But it is a very valid subject and I am quite proud of him for all of the in depth research he has done out of his own curiosity to learn more about this. We are going to flip a coin to pick teams for the Super Bowl..... loser has to eat the Wizz-Mater.

As in not thinking with a juvenile boner yet. Tits and ass don't occupy 98% of his active thought process...... yet. I did take him to Hooters for his birthday and after the girls sang him Happy Birthday he didn't want to get up from the table for a while. After a while he leaned over and said "Dude... I have to pee really bad but I can't stand up..." I spit beer across the table. He's taking after me, later bloomer. On the upside, his ass getting won't peak in high school..... but by the time he is in his late 20's he's be well versed in the Jedi way of smashing box..... just like his old man.

He is doing the "Man... look at that" thing when a nice looking girl walks by. And I have to keep reminding him the girls he is gawking at are technically a felony for me.

Yeah nothing wrong with that I guess, don't have to worry about him sneaking out and getting girls pregnant when he gets to high school.

I dont see anything wrong with using human feces as long as it is part of a compost pile that has had a year since last having anything added to it. I don't like dirt though in any form.The water you drink today has been pissed out by everything from dinosaurs to rats to yourself a few years ago. Think about it.

Shit is shit is shit..... I get a kick out of peoples 1st world knee jerk reaction to the suggestion of using humanure. Usually the first response is "no... disease". Which is true if you take into account that A) you are ingesting the plant fertilized with humanure & B) there is actual infected human fecal materiel on the part of the plant being ingested. There are many subsistence farmers in 3rd world countries who's families would starve to death if they didn't use every resource possible to grow crops. Including human waste. Trust me, living pathogens are not going to magically survive the combustion process 99% of us use to consume marijuana. Now you very well could get sick from handling your crop and then not washing your damned hands afterwards though....

Secondly, those who rattle off the "don't use carnivore/omnivore manure". Two of the most popular manures out there are Bat guano and chicken manure. Both of which are omnivorous. With the exception of strictly fruit eating bats. But most of the bat guano collected are from insectivorous bats. Worms are omnivores as well... don't seem many people throwing a shit fit over using their excrement on their plants.

All manures have the potential to harbor pathogens. The best way to deal with those is to properly compost the waste before using it to help cook out the bad stuff. Human waste is much to "hot" to use straight on a plant. You'll need to compost it to make it safe enough to use on your plants without literally burning the shit out of them.

All that said, with all the other easily accessible fertilizer options out there, I can 100% see most peoples aversion to using human waste. They just need to stick with "it grosses me out" though and quit trying to justify it past that with second hand regurgitated pseudo science. The gross out factor is reason enough.

You get twenty Buddon points for this.

i used to use it for ornamental gardens. it was avail for free fromm the city waste conversion plants. it was recommended for use for everything but veggies. b/c of the heavy metals. they don't decompose. they accumulate in ur body. if ppl would just flush poop down the toilet it wouldn't be an issue. but they put everything down the toilet and not evrything can be broken down. i believe if u know what ur eatting and u let it compost it's probably safe. pee is just nitrogen with a lot of salt. which can be diluted. same reason when ur dog pees on ur plants they die...salt concentration.

when I was in the service they warned us that if we went overseas that people used what they referred to as night soil.
People shit. I never went so I never witnessed it and that was a long time ago but around 1986 or so they were still telling us
to watch it.
