      When I was little my family got invited to join this rich hippy’s commune, we got to see the “plans” ahead of time, and noticed that every bathroom had multiple toilets facing each other with no privacy barriers, the organizer also kept boasting about how they would use their sewage to fertilize the gardens.

      I’m sure this all creates a lot more questions than anything else, but the short answer is no, my family wanted nothing to do with that kook’s crazy caca cult compound when they were making their own.

        as im sure youre aware: absolutely terrible idea, anyone says this to you: run.

        You have to maintain human waste at a 10:1 poop:notpoop mixture, and then a 3:1 poop-mixture:greenery ratio at 135°F and 6.5pH for at least 30 days with regular turning and mixing before you can use it.
