An urban composting toilet & humanure for the garden

It takes just one year before they can use their own poop on their garden as “humanure”. Original story here: http://faircompanies.com/videos/view/a-composting-toilet-and-humanure-for-garden/

After rain and a few months does cat poo in your garden compost down into mud/grass & safe for kids to play on?
If not how can i make the lawn safe for my kids to play on ?? No cats in my garden anymore so im just trying to get rid of all their mess but its all soft and slushy (sorry) randomly in my garden so even if you pick it up its still left loads on the grass and mud underneath? Im worried about this summer with my kids in the garden playing on grass??
I would get rid of what you can of it. Scoop it, bag it, and landfill it, then let the rain wash the residue down through the grass into the soil. If there aren’t any large pieces left by spring it shouldn’t be a problem for your kids to play on the grass.
You’re right to be concerned about cat poop. Cat feces often contains Toxoplasma gondii parasites, which if ingested produce Toxoplasmosis in immune-suppressed individuals. The parasite migrates into nerve cells and produces muscle weakness, and it can also migrate to the retina of the eye and damage vision. In pregnant women it can produce neural defects in fetuses, which is why pregnant women should never handle litter box duties. Cat scat is worse than dog and pig feces, which have their own share of problems and shared human diseases.

Urban composting toilet: poo from loo to garden in 1 year
Our sewage system is archaic: every week, New York City sends 800 Olympic sized swimming pools of sewage water into nearby waterways. It’s also expensive and energy-consuming to treat our waste: Britain’s sewage treatment uses a quarter of the energy of the country’s largest coal-fired power plant.
There are alternatives. Oakland, California resident Laura Allen uses a urine-diverting toilet. The urine is used as fertilizer, and the feces is stored in plastic drums to compost. After a year, all pathogens are destroyed and the drum is filled with “humanure” which Allen uses on her garden.
