Default Manure on lawns

You can be proud of your contribution, but Milwaukee occasionally dumps their
raw untreated sewage into Lake Michigan. I fish and boat out of Racine
Wisconsin
just south of Milwuakee, so I'm not happy with your donation.

I think it is banned in some states. I never bought the stuff, but I
understand the
sellers refuse to list on the bag exactly where this material comes from.


It comes from the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District's Jones Island
sewer treatment plant. For 35 years I was a proud contributor to it's raw
materials.
