I lived in a small community and we had Humanure system. We used the compost in the orchard, on the landscaping only.No need to send it to a stinky processing plant. Our yard benefited from it. It does take some maintenance. It is not a set it up and forget it system. Let our waste benefit those plants that give us oxygen.
I have a tiny garden, Maybe I could just save some Urine. That would be easy. I did not even think of it till I saw this video. A full blown out system is not always necessary. We can participate by doing tiny things.
It's 2024 now, and I can't find anything about building codes for receptacle for humanure. We live in Oregon and would like to build something like this. Where to get the plans?
Hello, what do you think about using human urine mixed with firewood ash as a liquid fertilizer in the garden? If yes what proportion of urine/ash would be indicated? Thank you very much!
This is true, but due to the concern about pathogens, it’s necessary for the initial part of the system. There could be a secondary part, where, after the one-year deadline you could move to a soil-based compost system.
@4:52 then it is humans who are at fault in states like California. The production of agricultural products that require a lot of water consumption should be in a place where it rains alot, and secondly the system of alfalfa is wrong, there are trees that have higher if not similar nutrition content for the dairy animals. One example is 'morus alba' - mulbery trees, 'albizia' trees, River tamarind, willow, poplar- if you are in cold climates. so alternatives are always there. These farmers need to change according to what is available in nature. Plus fodder trees enrich the land as the constant chopping of trees while dropping of composted manure from the cows at the farm back into the soil around those same trees, will reduce the water usage as soil is build up over the years.
I am a keen composter and have huge respect for you closing the waste loop, but I can't help think that you're putting yourself at risk with this method. You're not wearing gloves or a mask when chucking the bucket in and then spraying them with water and scrubbing to get the good old aerosols going 🤒 And I wish fresh pee was odourless. I work in care and come across it all too often.
as soon as i saw all those concrete blocks... i thought ...nah Check out Patrick at "Artist as Family" in Australia making humanure for an alternative approach.

I think you miss out on the worms and other microbes that come up from the soil when you have a concrete floor.

I like it, but it looks like too much work. I'm looking for a simpler way.
Do you disassemble the cement blocks to empty the compost?
yes, just partially to get enough access w/o breaking your back. the blocks are offset to make this task easier

I would love to speak with you. I have been trying to get composting at my property.
Can dog excrement be composted? Thank you.

im curious, whats wrong with concrete blocks?
@@markzuckerberg4462 It overkill. wooden pallets work fine but the concrete is kinda nicer imo
