I read Jenkins' book and found it was wonderfully more than I asked for. I learned a lot from this but still have some suspicions. I was just reading my current issue of OG magazine and discovered an article warning against the use of meat eating animal waste in the compost. I am surprised to find this contradiction in this particular magazine. Yet with the world becoming increasingly diseased, perhaps there may turn up some harmful organisms that won't be affected by the 170 degree temperatures of the compost bin.
