People have been using human waste as fertilizer since agriculture began.
Exactly! Guess some reporter, foreign to the ways of farming, thought they had a good story. Human fertilizer has indeed been used “forever”.
Really stupid. Switch to cow poop.
Go to any Lowe’s or Home Depot and you’ll find one fertilizer named “Milorganite.” It’s processed sludge from the Milwaukee Sewage treatment Plant. They’ve been selling it for well over 50 years. Chicago sends much of its processed sludge to southern Illinois where it’s sold to farmers to fertilize their plants.
