No one ever taught me this until I saw this wonderful educator. I’m sure this will be news to many.
One of my fave people on YT. This guy in Thailand is super chill with multiple cheap gardening tip videos. He’s anti-capitalist after disliking his work visa in America, and also after seeing neighbors fall for farming systems that have farmers literally dying from exhaustion in what he calls a new kind of colonialism. Frequently breaking down complicated bullshit like that into lots of simple bits of wisdom in ways a child could understand, he seems to now live a happy life he calls his heaven.

You can have humanure, mix it with a bit of topsoil, compost it for 6 months, and it will be okay to use as a soil amendment either dug into the soil before planting or applied to the bed once the seedlings reach a certain height. Or if you’re still squeamish about it, you can put it around fruit/nut trees. The danger is the microbes from your anus getting to your mouth or respiratory tract. But that microbial community is adapted to the large intestine, and in the soil it will be replaced by soil bacteria over time.
