Default The Humanure handbook

Amasing what you can find whilst trolling the net!

I've just come across this little beauty which I've downloaded to read later. As far as I can figure it's a free ebook!

In years gone by the contents of the earth closet were always either put on the muck heap or dug straight into the garden. Personally I would compost it along with grass cuttings etc for a couple of years before using it,and then only on flower beds!!
