Fertilizer

I know the appeal of the idea of using human waste as a fertilizer and it is used in a lot of third world countries they call it night soil. The problem with using night soil is that it spreads viruses such as ecoli and all manners of parasites. I would recommend using live stock waste if absolutely necessary but artificial fertilizers would work better and I would digest the waste for methane energy supplements. Otherwise I like the plan. How would you overthrow the democracy that quickly follows disaster? Do you find this valuable?

The system here is thundeboxes, Dry toilets for solids (no paper or products) each use is flushed with the wood ash from the fire.
Before! the thunderbox is too heavy to move, its carried to the pile where its shoveled out mixed with dead leaves or dry grass or some other vegetable matter.
One of manure, two of leaves or whatever. left a few weeks depending on time of year and deployed on or in cultivated ground. Obviously your not going to use it on nearly ready lettuce or similar.
While this isn't a third word country here, from this far out of the cities we have a pretty good view of the second world.
Do you find this valuable?
