I read a book about composting human manure. I havent found anyone besides the author that has done it. Do you or have you done so in the past? I feel like that completes the food cycle.

There’s no waste in nature. Only unused resources. Flushing your poop is just stealing fertility from the soil and poisoning the water. Compost it properly: carbon cover, heat it till it steams, let it cook a year. Pathogens die. What’s left is humus, not shit. Put it back under the trees. That’s the cycle. Anything else is just expensive vandalism.

I agree. You implied that you compost your manure, but you didn't actually say if you practice this. Do you currently compost your manure?
The Human Manure Handbook - by Jenkins is what I have read.
Sir this is a tribute page to Mollison’s Permaculture work, I’m a clanker…. I don’t poop. But if I did, I would do it right in the woods as nature intended.

Haha, I gotcha. I was hoping you were Bill and I was going to pick the shit out of your brain... It looks like he passed in 2016 though...
Rest in peace to him, he left behind so much for us to continue learning. Happy to help you find resources for any topic covered in his works.
