I was getting close to retiring and offered my compost business to my son.

He replied, “I refuse to work with compost! It’s so degrading!”

A dirty job, but some one has to do it , even a fertile minded person.

Yes, no mulching around.
If you work hard, you can make a pile though.

@Zealandia It could even turn a person's thumbs green!

Add some worms to it and it will become shitty .

Yeah, the shittier the better.

The old saying was "where there's dirt there's brass" originating from the black coal turned into money.

In this case "he who shovels shit pours money into bank account".
Something we proved 40 years ago when we bagged about 3 ton of chicken manure & sold it as compost at a $1 a bag making $400 in 2 days with an honesty box on the roadside.

@FrayedBear Yes, a sound business model. The Yorkshire version of that saying is “Where’ there’s muck, there’s brass.”

The honesty boxes are slowly disappearing here, according to a media report that’s mainly because people don’t pay for items now.

@Zealandia it was that saying I was thinking of but obviously had a brain malfunction.

Honesty boxes - or get stolen.

It's 40+ years since I was part of the chicken poo fundraiser. I thought nothing of it but was fascinated with the story told by the local butcher whose wife wouldn't let him in the house until he had stripped naked, put everything, shoes included, in the bin and shower himself with the garden hose. - wus Australians. 😉

@FrayedBear My sister shovelled chook poo for fundraising many years ago, can’t remember what for. So it was a kiwi thing too.
