Human waste as fertilizer?

Question

How do you properly treat human waste to use as fertilizer for non-edible plants (flowers, trees etc)

Answer 1

Do what farmers do with animal "waste" (aka manure).  Carry it to where the plants will grow and drop it on the ground.  Works great!!!

Answer 2

The use of human waste for fertilizer has been around for centuries.

In the modern era of the USA a product called Milorganite has been used in golf and turf. It is a processed waste (Sewage) sludge material.

Link on the company below.

I have added a few more links for you on the subject.

Although here again, most manufacturers have processed the waste prior to sale.

Here is a personal note, that may sound disgusting, but...My late grandfather in Lousiana used to pick up human waste sludge during tomato season and plant it. The seeds don't digest well and just pass through the body. He made some of the best looking and tasting tomatotes ever (Although he didn't share his secrect with many people due to the yuck factor.)

Answer 3

i wouldn't recommend it because it could kill your plants  some animal wastes cant be used as a fertilizer either because it kills the plants off  but then again it might depend on the plant certain wastes can change the ph level in the dirt and that's bad for some plants

Answer 4

there is no good way to treat human waste for use as a fertilizer, if you are looking for cheap fertilizer go to a garden shop an get humus. it will not be a health risk nor smell like human waste will

Answer 5

Absolutely not a good plan!

Answer 6

Waste from a human or animal that is a meat eater can cause bacteria that will kill plants. The smell will not be pleasant either.
