You can tell when he`s done it as there is foamy scum on the top of the pond.
It hasn`t happened for a few years though, I think he has got the message.

Isn't that some kind of health hazard? Human waste in the open like that?

I think the govenment give substides to farmers who spray it.
You can tell when he has sprayed it, as it smell horrible near the field for a few days.

I bet i does......i often wondered why the allotment next to the old chap was never taken........

[Peter]

I do hope he is not currently host to any parasites.

Don't accept any veg from him, never mind slugs, how about worms with your lettuce.

Think of dogs & toxicara worms.......

Isn't waste from sewage sort of sterilized before it's used? I don't fancy using it myself, or any other human by-products for that matter! I once worked on a ward where the ward sister used to drain the dregs out of the blood bottles that had been used for transfusions to feed her tomatoes with - now that really is gross as well isn't it!

In NZ a lot of the hostels we stayed at had 'composting' toilets. Pretty eco idea, and saved huge quantities of water. Flash looking bathroom across a semi-enclosed porch, normal hot water sink but bottomless toilet (outhouse style). Every four or five days they would dump half a bucket of garden soil (worms included) and maybe half a handful of lime when needed. No smell that I ever noticed.. but I do know they spread it around the flowers (they hadn't bothered to pick out plastic feminine products that obviously didn't compost!).

QUOTE: A lot of the "waste" from sewage farms is turned into compost.

When I was a teenager, my Dad used to buy "Dagfert", this was compost from the Dagenham sewage works, mind you he only ever grew flowers.

OH's dad used to use Dagfert. Apparently he would sometimes get tomato seedlings appearing from it!!

[Comfreyfan]

Sewage plants are renowned for their tomato plants - they grow like crazy - apparently we don't damage the seeds on the way through!
