[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1390577, member: 25884"] Sorry, human waste is not acceptable as fertilizer for vegetable production. In fact I do believe that there are several laws to prevent it. Has to do with the diseases that can be infective. I have no problem with it being used for some things, but not directly on gardens with vegetables. Use it for fertilizer on flowers and such, but after it has composted for a couple of years. There is alot of "bio-waste" sludge, that is being spread on some farms here; they have to get permits and all that and I don't know all the details. I do agree that it has to go somewhere, but there is the whole thing about heavy metals in sludge etc would make me very leery... I am very holistically minded with my garden and all and would NEVER use human waste in my compost pile that is feeding my vegetables. [/QUOTE]
