We use a compost toilet on our boat. Then we use it in the garden. Once broken down, soil is soil. This is also a brilliant solution to the water shortage issue. We mix with sawdust and coffee grounds.
On such a tiny scale, sure. But the second you try that on a scale larger than a small and isolated community, it won't work. Medicine and even BPA plastics show up in almost everyone's urine (BPA is still widely used in food packaging, just not water bottles). It's not certifiably organic, and who knows what sort of harmful effects such a random hodgepodge of medicines and other contaminants can have on both foodstuff, and in people as recycling sewage can have as it gets bioconcentrated, either in people, or the soil the fertilizer is used on.
@@saba-nz3lc well yea but fertilizers are also full of chemicals I think batches of this would have to be tested to see just how much chemicals, medication or pathogens are left.
You could grow an intermediary like sorghum grass and then compost that. My biggest worry is pharmaceuticals and birth control pills. Although, plants do not uptake most things it doesn't want.
We use the waterless centrex 3000 by sun mar. Water toilets waste water and expand our waste into a huge problem. Our system after full 5 people use for four months, leaves about half a bucket of product that looks like wood chip chunks. It can be put directly on the garden however we cycle it thru our regular compost.
Wow, sudden change in the topics on this channel. Could it be because Germany and other European countries are going to have to make choices over Russian gas in next couple days?
Right after WWII, the US helped Japan recover. One of the things they did was bring modern medicine and hygiene. The two biggest problems were cows infected with TB, which passed the bacillus on in their milk, and night-soil. Human waste was collected and used on the fields. That was the cause of many outbreaks of diarrheal diseases, and deaths in children. Many lives were saved by banning the collection and use of night-soil. This seems like a very bad idea.
It is perfect and normal way to deal with that particular waste. For ages poo was just buried in earth. Using any water for geting rid off it and any toilet waste is a crime to me, especially with such a huge amounts of water we destroy in our sewige systems every day! By bilions of persons around the world. I wish to be able to use dry toilet as a perfectly normal social standard at any place I leave and all over the globe, particularly during recent huge crisis of drough around the world.
The Humanure Handbook is an excellent resource for this sort of practice, it details human pathogens and the composting temperatures needed to make them inactive. I save up my "stuff" for a while then make a hot compost pile when I have enough. With temps between 125 f and 135 over a period of 2 weeks I can make a cubic yard of high quality compost that is totally safe
This seems like a good idea, but there are probably very good reasons why people start using flush toilets and commercial fertiliser as soon as they can afford to do so.
😐 I used to extract/seperate nitrogen from corn meal (highest food with nitrogen) Mexico is loaded with corn everywhere you look. don't tell me you NEED poop there lol
@@DarkHumorWritesItself Thanks for liking India but you are misinformed a lot about India. India is not a hot country, it's central and north central region is hot, otherwise in South, it's tropical with mild temperatures and in the far north, it's always cold due to Himalayan mountains. And India is not at all overpopulated. It's major cities are indeed filled with people but that's just like any other country. If you are a middle class or even a lower middle class, there is enough living space to leave peacefully. And finally caste system is a social order which was based on occupation. For example, I come from washermen caste because my ancestors were washermen. But today, nobody is bound to follow it, however we are aware about our castes. Today if I want I can chose any profession without any issues.
@@krishnkant9477 India still has caste culture and colourism deeply ingrained into society.Even the toilet issue has 400 million people still defecating outdoor.

I wonder if politicians can be composted
Synthetic fertilizers are now more expensive so using humanure or any animal manure makes sense.
Now that is a truly renewable resource
Am very concerned about communicable diseases from improperly processed humanure. It seems very risky, tbh.

If unsure use it to grow non edible crops.

This is pretty common among homesteaders in the USA.
Something the city of Milwaukee Sewer District has been doing for over 100 years now. The fertilizer is sold by the district.
Hot Cheetos and Pepsi would not make very good fertilizer. Coming from America

nightsoil should be fine if it’s properly composted over several months and not applied directly
Thanks DW!
People will get sick from this and their lack of standards
Has anyone ever thought of using urine watering vegetables? I have seen people doing it. Vegetables came out beautiful and edible too! 😁
Yes, but must dilute it with some water. Otherwise it will burn the plants.
I mostly piss on the cooker around the food before friends come for dinner friends love it they even clap when i do it
🤢🤮
Brad Lancaster and Watershed Mgmt Group out of Tucson are experts in this area.
Watershed has online resources on this and better uses for water.

No, that is not safe. Salmonella can survive that temperature. And prions can survive an autoclave. Heat over 70C (158F) is required to kill Covid-19.
Sure hope they are washing those plants.

Yes, no more heavy lifting buckets or turning compost piles. Understandable when there are machines to do the work. But that doesn't make it better.
ALL farmers put cow/pig dung on the fields,,what's the difference??
good video to watch during breakfast 🥣 😂🤣😋
Not possible, given the medication I'm taking it won't be organic.
In that case nothing changes, since right now, It's getting in our environment as well.

Have you ever seen India? It's one of the Richest countries in the globe. Check history from 1 AD to 16 AD.
In India 98% people have indoor plumbing today. Go and check your information now.
