Subject: Re:In the US, but



In the US usually natural fertilizer, like manure comes from animals, like turkeys, pigs, cows, and chickens. Sometimes turkey and chicken litter is composted to help soften the straw and wood chips as well as to make it safer for food production. Mammal manure much less so.

In much of the world, even for their own vegetable gardens, it also comes from freshly emptied chamber pots. at least once a day which leads to population decimation from cholera and disentary among other deadly diseases. We learned that it was important to put the outhouse down hill from the spring or well about 115 years ago, before that records often show most of a family dying in the same year from disease. Those with the disease were generally cared for at home and the improper relative locations of well or spring and the outhouse transferred the diseases rapidly.
