Grey water on gardens
"Chookie" wrote in
From what I understand, the fear is that some of your intestinal bugs have made it into the water from the shower, or via your clothes, and will then give you gastro when you eat the vegies that they have landed on. Given that most keen gardeners shovel you-know-what on their gardens anyway, this seems a bit hysterical. I wrote to Gardening Australia once asking why a bit of human faecal matter was such a worry given Pete's enthusiasm for ordure, and they said they were just following what the water/health authorities said. They carefully refrained from comment on the realities of gardening! Did you see the show where Peter went to a garden that was vitually run on grey water (maybe 2-3 months ago)? Very lush but the veggie garden had become water repellant. Cundall said that it was because of the chemicals in the grey water and not to use it any more. |
