I had the choice of taking crop rotation or human waste reclamation and recycling today. Because this farming system is a “closed” system i.e. once up and running you are completely sustainable and don’t have to get anything (and I really mean ANYTHING) off your farm property postage stamp. Considering this, and knowing that human waste is the highest and purest form of compostable material, I stopped “thinking” about it as pee and poo (GAG) and sat down. The first thing I learned, is that pee has the highest form of organic potassium that you can put on your soil. There are no known forms of organic potassium that you can supplement your soil with. Because pee also comes out sanitary and supposedly sterile, it’s an ideal composting resource. Poo is a different thing because of worms and other gross things people have creeping around their toxic bodies.
As I was learning about the various ways to recycle excrement and because I’m OCD, I started making a list in my head of who’s pee and poo I wouldn’t mind using in my garden, if mankind gets to that point in my lifetime. First on the list, my best friend’s Karen and Chris. I know their diet. And truthfully, I don’t mean to be gross, but their pee and poo is practically edible. They are vegan, organic and the purest eaters I know. Next on the list would have to be Susan and Mindy. They are also vegan and don’t drink alcohol or coffee. I would want their “stuff ” on my compost heap. I was surprised how short the list is. The last three people whose (you know what) I wouldn’t mind putting on my growing food is Marilu’s and the sister’s who own my gym, RPM, Cynthia and Karen. Not only do these three eat light, everything is judiciously thought about before eaten. The bottom line with everyone on “My Pee and Poo Composting List” is these people would rather starve than put anything in their mouth that doesn’t conform to their diet regimen. I don’t know anyone else like this. They are the definition of CONTROL!
Things I’m sorry I missed on this trip are the Redwoods, which are an hour away and Fort Bragg, which is on the coast. I am actually so sorry I didn’t drag my girlfriend Karen, a few dogs and drive up here…it is so beautiful. If I didn’t have commitments at home, I would have definitely stayed a few more days.
It has also been oddly relaxing not having service here and being unreachable.
Driving to San Fran Airport at 4 am.
