Stuart Kelly swapped his synthetic fertilizers for the bio solids about five years ago.

Natural over synthetic should be better but what about all the drugs humans put in their bodies?

Not exactly new, honey wagons have been around a long time and they didn’t need any processing plant.

S. Korea and other “rice paddy” places have been doing it forever. “Honey pot” truck going from sewers to fields to help grow their food...

Yep, when I was a kid, the city water department allowed people to come and get their newly cleaned sludge. My dad asked my mom if she wanted to get some for her birthday (as a joke) and she said yes. So, they went to pick up some "compost."

She put it in her flower beds, and low and behold, tucked in between the hydrangeas and the day lilies there was one lone tomato plant. It was so vigorous that it wasn't even staked.

We watched week after week and pretty soon mom announced that she had herself some tomatoes, planted unbeknownst to her, grown post-human-gullet.

Just in case anyone is wondering - they were the best tasting tomatoes EVER.

OK - I trust Freepers to know stuff... I’ve been wondering for years if I can plant a garden in my back yard. The problem is that we don’t have sewers in my suburban neighborhood, we have septic tanks.

About half of my backyard is septic lines, and the other half is downhill from my neighbor’s septic lines...

I’ve never felt comfortable planting. I may go with buckets or raised beds next year.

What do you think?

That is a major problem that current technology does not address.
