Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I guess my issue with poo in my food is just simply from knowing that I don't NEED it-I can ammend my soil in so many other ways, without having thoughts of dung being on my food. I was taught in kindergarten not to combine poo and food, and I guess it just stuck with me. The idea of INTENTIONALLY putting poo on my food just doesn't make sense to me. Personal choice, but my garden has always thrived, despite no poo. In fact, my garden is MUCH more productive than my father in law's, and he grows on a much larger, more complex scale than I do, yet I always end up with a higher yield. I feel the same way about pesticides...why use them if their are " better " choices? I think ANY of us would be hard pressed to go along with slathering dung on our faces as a mud pack, so I see no point in putting it on something I intend to consume. I like that I can pluck stuff from my gardens, give it a quick little rinse to get soil off, and consume it without worry about bacteria...or poo, lol. > > I never could really understand 's issues with poo in compost after > all, organic composted poo has been used for years and in the process of > breaking down, it would go to high heats, etc. - but I never said anything > after all, we are all entitled to our opinion - but then, I listened to a > talk (The May 10 talk) by s Kalcker on an autism webinar. > http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mms-autism-webinar > > It's free, 1 hr and 10 minutes or so, and andreas is talking about parasites > an icky topic, but one close to my heart since I lived in Japan and India > definitely had amoebas in India, and who knows what else.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I don't grow my mushrooms in poo either, lol. I grow them in a rotting log, or in a substrate, such as coir. I actually made some " totum " type bags that I put mushroom spores in, and they grew out the sides of the bags. Again, no poo needed! > > > > I never could really understand 's issues with poo in compost  after > > all, organic composted poo has been used for years and in the process of > > breaking down, it would go to high heats, etc. - but I never said anything  > > after all, we are all entitled to our opinion - but then, I listened to a > > talk (The May 10 talk) by s Kalcker on an autism webinar. > > http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mms-autism-webinar > > > > It's free, 1 hr and 10 minutes or so, and andreas is talking about parasites > >  an icky topic, but one close to my heart since I lived in Japan and India > >  definitely had amoebas in India, and who knows what else.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I understand that the compost heats outside water plants where poo and water are separated and water cleaned, is free for pick up, but there is a warning by it that says not for fertilizer of food for human consumption. has anyone checked other water plants to see about the free compost there? I think it is about the same thing. But there are many parasites there and there are also capsules and sometimes undigested vitamins or medications where people put them down the toilet rather disposing of them elsewhere. that included one-a-day vitamins which they could still tell what they were. So woman who told me about what she saw said she started taking liquid vitamins so she gets what she is supposed to have. She is vegan and doesn't take medications that I know of.  She would use herbs from the natural herb store if she needed something. I guess it wouldn't matter if you used the compost or fertilizer to grow flowers so long as you didn't eat them. Need to grow flowers organically. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 12:54 PM Subject: OK, confession time...  I never could really understand 's issues with poo in compost  after all, organic composted poo has been used for years and in the process of breaking down, it would go to high heats, etc. - but I never said anything  after all, we are all entitled to our opinion - but then, I listened to a talk (The May 10 talk) by s Kalcker on an autism webinar. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mms-autism-webinar It's free, 1 hr and 10 minutes or so, and andreas is talking about parasites  an icky topic, but one close to my heart since I lived in Japan and India  definitely had amoebas in India, and who knows what else.

So, if you have some time, I strongly suggest listening  it's good information to have. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
