Turning Human Waste Into Recycled Organic Matter Resource

Turning Human Waste Into Recycled Organic Matter Resource will help explain why manure is our greatest abundant, yet most misunderstood, natural resource.
Let’s embark on the taboo subject of human manure! The problem of waste in an off-grid or grid-down situation is embarrassingly simple. Most people don’t consider waste when thinking about emergency preparedness….. it a quote from the article we are exploring.

Yes, our solid waste can actually be converted into something useful. That seems ridiculous, but it’s much how we use cow manure on farms. It comes in the form of a dry composting toilet (DCT), which collects our waste to be recycled organically. No water is needed, no digging of holes necessary, and no outhouse located far away with the use of chemicals. A DCT is perfect for those who live on a farm and off the grid and lets you use water for other things. And, it doesn’t even smell instantly, unless you don’t clean the bottom after a few days. In a DCT, the waste is covered by carbon and nitrogen, controlling the smell and risk of any disease.

Just use the material first, like leaves, wood chips, and pine needles, use the potty, and put more of that cover material on top. Have a five-gallon bucket collecting everything until it’s three-quarters full before removing it from below and dump in the compost pile, something that is usually done three times a week for a family of three. This compost coming from our waste is perfect as a source to grow plants and trees just have the right carbon-nitrogen ratio and temperature to make it work the best.

Living in a city would make you flush it all down into the overflown sewer and wastewater. The farms have no problem reusing it for necessary pasture. It is common in the rural, gridless areas, and it is very Eco-friendly.

There is also the historical, cultural, and environmental issues pertaining to “human waste,” as well as an in-depth look at the potential health risks related to humanure recycling, with clear instructions on how to eliminate those dangers in order to safely convert humanure into garden soil.
