Fertilization

Farmers are always looking for ways to boost their yield. One method they use utilizes manure from their animals. Now these animals have to be herbivores in order for this natural fertilizer to work. If you used manure from a carnivore or omnivore, it would actually acidify the soil and would create an imbalance in the soil. In short, nothing will grow. Many of us are backyard farmers. We don't have acres to cultivate, only a small plot in the backyard to grow some seasonal vegetables, and some herbs. Which also means, there's a very good chance we don't have cattle either. So our natural fertilizer supply is not readily available. Then a thought popped into my head. Do you know what a 'vegan' is? It's a person who does not eat or use animal products - an herbivore. Do you see where I'm going with this? I was wondering if a vegan could just fertilize his own garden? Yeah, there's the indecent exposure issue to handle, but that can be easily remedied. Once again, I may be on the cutting edge of something revolutionary:) An additional thought. When we die, our body is decomposed by maggots - nature's garbage men. When a vegan dies, do they just turn into a mushroom?
