OK. Maybe most people don't really find "poo" a suitable topic for discussion, much less a worthwhile topic for an entire book, but when you're trying to develop a closed nutrient cycle on your land, you use all the nutrients you can to get the best yield possible and thus need to learn how.
Gene Logsdon clearly knows his shit! His book Holy Shit: Managing Manure to Save Mankind is humorous, interesting, incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful. A guide to proper manure composting, it doesn't take itself too seriously. Then again, with a topic like dung, who really COULD take themselves too seriously? Still, he gives the reader a real-life perspective on using manure to reduce the use (and thus the COST) of chemical fertilizers while rebuilding the soil for future use.
It reads easily and is understandable- even for a neophyte like me! I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning about the fertilizer value of manure and how to use it to get the best results in your garden or farm.
