Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hello Lynda Thank you... I just checked out those links and have a better understanding. It's not that humanure, (love that term!) is a bad fertilizer, it's all the other crap that is mixed with it: meaning anything anyone pours down the drain. It comes back to the non biodegradable cleaners, oils, paints, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 It's not that shit is bad fertilizer, it just has to be partially composted befor used to grow food. I think sewage shit is always bad to use because it contains anything that any dumbass has thrown down the drain. I think that they should enforce not putting bad things down the drain. Atleast advertise it more. A Commercial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Jeff It would be a good idea to advertise not to put all sorts of things down the drain - but I guess people would still do it.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 We used to live across the street from a cop. The area we lived in was a rain forest area (redwoods, old growth) with lots of rivers (7) and a zillion creeks and run-off streams. Most of these fed into the bay as did the drainage ditches on the streets. The cop's m-i-l had a little mut cross poodle and the groomer came to their home. For starters she parked the passenger side wheels on the sidewalk. A no-no here, which of course the cop was fully aware of. Then she took all her dirty dip and doggie bath water and let it out into the drainage ditch (the reason to park half on the sidwalk was to create good flow out of the van). We are talking some nasty chemicals because she was doing flea and tick dips. It is bad enough what goes into the sewer but when folks do it and pollute streams etc., it is REALLY nasty. I don't know about Europe but here we have special days and places for all those chemicals but folks still are too blooming lazy and dump everything in the ditch and down the drain.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well, I hate to respond to my own e-mail but this just popped up on the telly on the show Amazing Vacation Homes. This house was totally off the grid and all the gray water went into planter boxes and the black water went into a solar composter that rendered the solids into ash. According to the homeowner there is no smell. Very interesting! Lynda - Lynda <lurine Monday, May 09, 2005 1:35 PM Re: Re: Human Shit and Fertilizer. > We used to live across the street from a cop.
