Default Humanure!?!

I seem to remember that Milorganite was a product of the City of Milwaukee's
waste treatment system. Either that product or a similar one was found to
be high in heavy metals, which found its way into the plants. Why heavy
metals............. could be that some of the metal plating companies dump
their wastewater into the sewer system?

Hello all,
I was wondering if and how many of you have any experience with
humanure.

Thanks,
Gello



You can buy Milorganite which is processed sewage sludge. Probably
better for ornamentals because it might contain heavy metals and other
poisons people toss in the sewer.

Easiest way to use poop is the move your outhouse around regularly.
Each time you move it and fill in the pit with topsoil, you have a
pretty good patch for growing anything.
