also in jenkins humanure handbook he says that we have been using
composting to turn dead animals into compost. he does not say
anything about composting humans though. i imagine the process is
the same. does anyone out there know anything of this practice? i
would love to be spread under a fruit or nut tree or even on a field
after my body is dead. however i currently have concerns about
cycling heavy metals and possible bioaccumulation in food and people.
