To be safe feces need to be hot composted. And you need to wait a good year or two before they're safe. But dang! We're talking hundreds of pounds of compost yearly... With the right amount of saw dust they don't smell too bad.

Then you usually make like a box. Insulated with hay/grasses or whatever. And oh boy. That compost will get hotter than you want a steak to get!

"Costs you time" just seems like a negative way to look at it. I would love to have more time gardening!

Me too, but it's not the only thing in life I like doing. I'd love to have more time to spend with my family, more time to do music, to do hikes in nature, more time to devote to theatre, to play with my cats, to learn languages, to do sports, more time to meet my friends and other nice people, more time to learn math, physics, anthropology and etymology... I don't have it. I have some limited time that I can give to gardening and very limited space (a large balcony).

I'd love to live several lives, alas, I have just this one and have to divide my time and prioritize. If you've seen Everything everywhere all at once - that's a film that resonated with me greatly.
