can one make compost without using any form of animal feces?

No, since even the microorganisms in it will produce shit. Nature is full of shit.
>>1156339
you can make compost out of most any organic material, such as grass clippings, leaves, wood, food scraps.
>>1156339
Yes, of course. Also see: >>>/out/983872

Without much effort of give a fuck i dont know. Can confirm, worms, cow shit, horse shit, when dry isnt super repulsive.
Actually my back yard is fucking knee high because of dog shit and earthworms. Thos fuckers are thriving to the point i took my fence down. Gonna move them off site onto a fountation and sell them.

Of course. You can compost just grass clippings, and it will work fairly well.

Compost is actually a touchy subject. We have been taught that everything must be just right when in reality all you need is a pile of leaves. Shreading them helps. Animal crap is fine but not at all nessesary. Grass clippings are leaves. Save food scraps for the worm bin. Rake up all the leaves in your area, shred them in a barrel with a weed eater in a trash bin, repeat untill you have a massive pile. It will reduce by half in a month or two, this works good for mulch. Or let it continue to reduce by half again over another 6months, turn it every other month to speed up the process, now it's compost. Aka leaf mold. The one food scrap that actually will help is coffee grounds.

Why? Do you need your compost to be vegan?

I tried leaf mold by leaving them (whole) in plastic bags for a year or so. Took a while but holy fuck was it goooooooood....
However I just bought a garden vac that shreds leaves so my next compost is gone be sweeeeeet

Same here.
I go around the neighborhood in the fall stealing everyones leaves with the mower and blower/vac. Spread it all over my garden beds and shit grows like mad

BOKASHI!
>>1156339
I never added any animal feces to my compost heap and it works well.
I would recommend adding liberal amounts of coffee grounds. It really gets the earth worms going, breeding like crazy and processes the compost really well. It also drives certain pests away like Spanish slug.

Human shit
once you figure out the compost process learn about compost tea
shit is great for stretching the compost.
ADD EARTHWORMS , THANK ME LATER!
