What if the human eats lots of meat and is on pharma drugs?

[growingyourgreens]

Cows have been fed (and still are?) fed a meat diet and are on pharma drugs, and most people use cow manure (or other manures from animals that are on pharma drugs.. That being said, compost you and your familiys waste, and know whats going into your food.

What about toilet paper....would that just compost down?

[growingyourgreens]

Yes, it would. Better yet would be to get some leaves that can be used as toilet paper. Thats what people did before there was toilet paper. In my home, I use a bidet which uses only water to "keep me clean". Most toilet papers contain dioxins (and possibly other toxins) that may not be optimal to compost, so get a good, organic, recycled, dioxin free toilet paper if you want to compost it.

I have considered this for a while now but the family is still resistant. I have question-where do you get all the sawdust for this?

[growingyourgreens]

ask around at local cabinet makers or other places that use real wood for woodworking.

@kuujatahdet if the person eats lots of meat and is on pharmadrugs, every thing will be fine, when you are composting in a thermophellic or hot way there is not a worry about that stuff remaining in there. In this process everything is so hot is is broken down completely! This method can even brake down round up which as we all know does not break down as fast as the company says. Read the Humanure Handbook by Joe Jenkins and you will learn all you need to know. :)

Recycling is actually used in many parts of China, where they can not afford compost, fertilizer, or a flushing toilet. My parents were grossed out when they visited there, but this is the way nature works. In China, I don't think their system is as elaborate as yours though. LOL.

Great video, John. I use reduced pee for my starters and to get the compost going when it's slow to start, and on the lawn as well. In Iowa we have what's know as 4th of July Corn. That's the early plot that you send the boys out to pee on so it'l be done by the fourth, lol.  I appreciate your videos VERY much, thanks for sharing with us.

@ddmm12407 i remember someone doing a worm compost bin just for the toilet paper i'm sure someone on youtube would have a vid of how to make one
