What is Faeces?

Most people think faeces is mainly materials that the body could not digest or use, yes these materials make a portion of faeces, but what most might be surprised about is that 80% of the dry weight of human faces is bacteria. The NPK value is 6-4-2, C/N ratio averages on 7.5 and moister content is 75%

.
Now for compost.  Nerds like myself you will already realize if you compare the high moister content to the low C/N ratio faces will immediately start to anaerobic decompose, followed by a not so lekker smell, calling fly’s far and wide to come visit. 

There are many different ways to stabilize human faeces; the obvious course of action would be to adjust the C/N ratio in an aerobic environment that is done thermophilically-but not everyone is a compost nerd so this is why our next “cheap and nasty course” on the Green Guerrilla farm will be “composting human faeces for dummies”. 

For those who follow us, but live far and away, I will dedicate the next few posts on how to stabilize human auxiliary surplus in easy understandable methods, systems and cheap and effective methods.

I will also be praising, worshiping and giving full credit to the best creature on the planet: The compost worm, with these lowly, blind, toothless hermaphrodites we are going to take care of your business with no fuss and no smells-Green Guerrilla style. 

And now a word for our sponsors: Green Guerrillas are running a special for the next few weeks- buy 1 kg of composting worms R850 and receive 50kg worm farm for free.
