#Humanure
No. Stop buying fixes that are expensive.

Try something old: #microbes

And no humanure on food crops.

Although if anyone is thinking about night-soil, the Humanure Handbook is excellent.

the secret to a fertile soil was always human waste. In Japan "night soil" was a precious commodity.

Meanwhile my first experience with Lisa Fithian was a bunch of us doing activist summer camp on a permaculture farm in Lancaster and I got the runs and ended up essentially stationed in an outdoor humanure stall all evening

I can't imagine why someone would want to look at art produced by a machine when *real art* produced by *real freaks* is all around us.

Every single person on the continent of Africa lives a richer and more meaningful inner life than whatever knuckle dragging pasty boneheaded racist piece of white supremacist humanure it was that made this impressively bad map.

As someone who's written a dissertation on the subject I can confirm that you are wrong.

Human waste has been used as fertilizer for thousands of years.

If you're interested in the subject, I recommend The Humanure Handbook.

Tangentially, I wish the vivid memory was a glamorous one but it involved me getting food poisoning from the spaghetti and having a very unpleasant night trekking back and forth repeatedly between the campground and the humanure booth

What is something that brought you Joy today?

I figured out a composting solution for adding greens to the humanure compost by planting comfrey all around the bins so we can chop and drop greenery in with the straw and sawdust. It will also be pretty and make the pollinators and fruit trees happy.

Humanure can be a great solution to fertility loss around the world, but I think it's highly dependent on the diet of the manure producer. Eat shit, shit shit.

You think Humanure is gross I think shitting in the drinking water is gross. We are not the same.

Counter argument: Chinese cuisine tends to heavily favor cooked foods, in part, because of their historical reliance on humanure and they managed to make flavorful dishes that weren't aggressively overcooked.

Like, my most vivid memory of Lisa comes from a training she did at a 2007 New SDS summer camp we did out at a farm in Lancaster.

We were in tents. Pooping in "humanure" toilets eating bulk-cooked spaghetti and can sauce.

She's not exactly out there getting paid bank and put up at the Ritz.
Also, speaking as someone who actually has done a fair amount of professional agitation training, there are places you get paid and places you're just doing it because they need you.

And student protests are NOT lining anyone's pockets in any way.

INBOX- on the #Oklahoma bill that would regulate the choice to turn human remains into organic soil. Sen. calls out a “deeply misinformed lawmaker who continues to spread blatant lies.” Rep Jim Shaw recently made headlines equating it to humanure. Said bodies would be fertilizer.

The cyclospora come from the soil where the eggs are. The eggs got into the soil from irrigation with treated waste, probably humanure. However, accepted waste treatment methods don't kill all parasites or their eggs.

It's treated waste that's contaminated farmland in every state that allows it.
Increased scrutiny on farmworkers only compounds the other stresses that the population is facing, who are more vulnerable to getting the disease than they are likely to be the source of the outbreak.
