Why would there be a human poo holding tank in the middle of NOWHERE? We are 45 min. to a small "city"
Hmmmm
The tank is not tall, but its very larage around. There is a house next door, but nothing else
Everyone knows its human, and it smells it too. The thing is, there is nothing else there. Just this persons house and this large open concrete (tank) filled with thick brown liquid yuck. Sometimes I would go by and it would be empty. All I would see is the brown dirt at the bottom. (I think it was dirt).
It could be a holding tank (basically a super large septic tank) that is relieved by a Pumping Station. The Pumping Station pumps the over flow to the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Eventually the “Sludge” builds up and has to be cleaned out (just like a Septic Tank). This is usually dumped in the Drying Beds at a Waste Water Treatment Plant. I can go into more detail if you want me to.
As far as Safety for the Public, each State/County has their own regulations.
I buy organic cow manure currently for my tiny garden (which I plan on expanding in the future). I agree with you..big difference between human and cow, at least in my mind. I cannot believe how freaked out I am over this...human waste..it's like cannibalism or something. It just seems really really wrong. And human milk for ice cream?? Aggghh...stop!!! I cannot take this anymore. It's all just creepy. That isn't actually happening too is it?
chicken poo is excellent. You need to compost it first so it dries out.... once its like dusty, or sawdust (very dry) you then wait for fall and then till it into the garden that way you dont get it on things like lettuce as its growing. Lots of people just toss it in prior to planting, but I like to be extra safe, and when I researched it, they recommend you do it the way I do it. Organic cow poo is good too. The people in favor of this say whats the difference, poo is poo, but thats not true. Thats right up there with the crazy people who are all for human milk for ice cream, and whatever. NO THANKS!!!!!!
Sorry Margie, as much as I hate gmo food, I would eat that over the food grown in human poo. I have researched it. I have listended to both sides and I am not buying the safety of it at all. I live right near hippy land and they are all about this. They can keep it.
Mr. Glass... Where we live, they have these open (pools)... not sure what its called. But it is like a swimming pool, only made of concrete?... They hold all this liquid human poo, and the smell will kill you. They have signs posted all over it warning people to stay away, but I was wondering... why is it open? Someone could climb over and jump in. I thought human waste was kept in closed tanks.
