Compost - humanure. Being doing it for 15 years. Get the book!

But I had trouble with rats. So I built a carbon expensive concrete base, and masonry walls, timber one side and lid. Plastic pallet in the bottom, stainless mesh on top of that. Then poop/urine/sawdust and weeds and food waste. No turning. Leave for a year and start filling the one next to it. Not only great compost, but the liquid, diluted 5-10:1 is a fantastic feed. I missed out for years. Plants shoot up overnight with the liquid feed! Turns out, great as the compost is, the liquid is the most valuable asset. Really really makes things grow, including trees. 6-10'/year easy with peaches or walnuts (but not advised!)
