Funny, but you're not supposed to put any sort of meat, or even manure from a meat-eating animal, into a compost pile.
"The EPA recommends against composting meat, whether in a pile or bin, because it can create rodent infestations and attract pests (and cause a very unpleasant smell). Raw meat can also be particularly harmful, as it could be infected with E. coli or salmonella. If not composted properly, putting the bacteria-filled compost on your garden may allow the bacteria to spread to the plants and vegetables you’re growing, effectively ruining your harvest."

"While some animal manure is great for the compost, feces, and urine from non-herbivores should never be put in the compost. Dog and cat poop contain pathogens and parasites that can be very dangerous for people and animals."
"Like dog and cat poop, human feces have no place in the compost for much the same reasons."

I'm sorry but there is so much wrong with this. First of all, compost piles are above ground, that's why they attract rodents if we put meat in there, plus it stinks. Burying is a completely different thing. Organic gardeners already understand burying eggs and fish below the plants will nourish them all season. I homestead and butcher my own meat, no part of the body goes to waste. I bury anything I can't use in the kitchen. Keeps my garden extremally healthy. From the dirt we came, to dirt we will shall return. My chickens poop goes right in the compost and my rabbits poop goes right in the garden, no composting necessary. And human urine is the best source of nitrogen you'll ever find. Best to dilute it first, but the plants love it.
Green burials are not deep. If they were, then the "nutrients" would be too far below-ground to be of use to plants. Oftentimes, green burial grounds will put a rock on top of the burial site, the purpose being to keep animals from digging up the corpse.
Human urine, however, is not ok for food plants unless it was sterilized to kill pathogens.
Eggshells are fine for compost.
Rabbits and chickens are herbivores, so their manure is perfectly acceptable in a compost pile, along with horse and cow manure. Native Americans placed fish in holes and then planted corn. All perfectly fine.
I bury the heads and feet of my butchered animals, we go a couple feet deep, that is it. A stone is placed but we plant around it. I plant deep rooted plants near shallow rooted plants. The deep rooted plants like comfrey pull up nutrients other plants can't reach and deposit them for the other plants. It's an entire ecosystem that works. There is a method to organic gardening and you are stopping at surface statements without any understanding of the how or why. This is the problem with getting your education from google instead of experience. Your statement on human urine is enough to show it. You think people are collecting urine from strangers to put in their garden? If you want to ever survive hard times, you better be aware of how to use human urine in your garden if you want to eat. And no one composts rabbit manure, it's a cold manure that goes right into the garden. We don't compost it. Horse and cow manure are actually our biggest threat right now due to aminopyralids which have been wrecking gardens all over the nation and Europe right now, and if you knew anything about gardening and homesteading you would know this. I've been strictly avoiding it the past 3 years now along with all forms of straw and hay unless i find a source I can trust. I have to make all my own compost to protect my soil.
You know the real goal right? To save the bodies so that they can be used for whatever the Globalist want to do next. I wont even dwell on what all that might be.
Also to obfuscate how many conscripts they've gotten killed.
Highly likely.
I'm thinking more along the lines of getting rid of the leftovers.
The sewer dept in columbus ohio composts human waste w wood chips and sells it .called conttil the do not recommend use in garden or farmland
You can even compost human waste if you like. https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=5C091C93CC71019F0F615B4B0475EF1E In fact, if you look at the old Korean way of farming, you can compost pretty much anything. You just need to cure certain things for longer and let the thermophilic nature of composting do its thing. Bokashi is an ancient Japanese technique we use. bones, oil and pretty much everything goes in and comes out as black gold!
Don't eat any f'ing wheat produced in Ukraine. 🤢
These people are sick... anything in the ground is sucked up into the plants through root system... eating the dead? Cannibalism by any other name is still Cannibalism
I bury dead fish in my garden all the time....
I eat fish so they being integrated into my food isn’t a concern. I do NOT eat people so I don’t want this. I don’t see many garden/cemetery combos.
The american indians taught the pilgrims to bury fish to grow food
Right, but they didn’t tell the pilgrims to plant their crops over their own dead bodies. Fish and humans are different.
Better notify Lori Lightfoot.
Qeq!
Ha! 🤣 I love when you drop the jokes, you have my kinda humor.
I'm not a biologist or anything..but here in the country my neighbor has buried five whole horses over the years w no dead zone around them
The city people on this forum don't have a clue wtf they are talking about. There is nothing more natural than burying the dead. These people are morons.
That's not what's being argued here. There's an objection to using human corpses as compost because, among other blasphemies, consuming produce grown from it is too close to cannibalism for comfort. Rardog there kept bringing up fish and horses, missing the point entirely. Debasing the dead by using them as a resource is an affront to basic human decency.
Are you retarded?
Me too. Real gardeners know. ;)
The fastest way to convert cannon fodder into low-grade compost there is.
I'm not advocating that...I'm saying it is ok to bury dead animals in fields
Mad cow disease anyone? Only it'll be mad human. That's what All the zombie movies are about.
The Ukrainian Nazis are backward in many ways.
The norm would be to fertilize your fields with the blood of your ENEMIES, not your countrymen:
Cf. La Marseillaise, the French national anthem
♪ Marchons, marchons
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons! ♫
Translation:
♪ Let us march, let us march
That our fields may flood
With impure blood! ♫
Guess the Ukrainians consider their own young men impure
Qeq
Soylent green anyone?
PaulieM91, funny you should reference that movie, Soylent Green with Charlton Heston. I ordered that movie from ebay about 5 or 6 years ago because I could not remember much about it EXCEPT the MAIN THEME.
It was set in 2022
So no War Memorial and grave site then? Ok, carry on.
Is this the Onion?
The fallen soldiers need to be accounted for and given respect. Given time, all bodies decompose into elements that can finally be taken up by plant roots. But formaldehyde poisons the bodies and the elements do not get used, resulting in diesel fraction plumes beneath cemeteries.
While all the socialists were saying eat the rich we all knew it would end with them saying eat the poor.
Guess you can they really do push up daisy's.
