as a very little nipper... my prents moved to a new council estate in Poole.
all sooo new that there was no top soil, no grass on the 'green', no paving slabs... you get the picture.
however, all the houses had a little garden space front and back.
Down the road was a sewage reprocessing plant (no, we never had the smells, so for it's time, I suppose it was quite efficient) as a by product of this plant, there was an ample free supply of dried and filtered sewerage. Cake i think it was called, but what do I know, I was a child?
anyhow, this was offered to thos one the estate who wanted, even delivered I think. and many, including the council themselves used it.
However... there was a bit of a problem.
for two summers I think it was.... the whole estate was completely overgrown with self seeding tomato plants... everywhere they were..... like a forest

Growing stuff in shit
I always wondered why terraced houses came with more or less the same size gardens. Were they designed to have enough ground into which you could throw your turds? That a years suply of poo could be dug into the soil to create a self supporting ecology? That's supposing the sewage system broke down and people had to do it.
Sex God
As many on here know - I grow my own (only veg, since a copper lives 5 doors down LOL) and I would LOVE a supply of good shit. (so to sdpeak). I can't even get my hands on the horse version.
When they do slurry spreading here (the euphemism for human manure which is supposed to be injected below the soil surface) you can smell it for days - and it gradually gets worse and worse until it clears. But as a fertiliser it's fabulous.
So, no, I'm not at all squeamish about it.

We had an old fashioned sewerage works down the road. Long disused but home to an annual crop of fantastic tomatoes.
My father reasoned that this was a result of the processed waste,which contains a lot of undigested tomato seeds, being spread on the adjoining fields for later collection and distribution.
I always thought slurry was animal shit (pig n cow)mixed with water and sprayed. I also thought the solids used in this way were subject to intense regulation due to the obvious health concerns about using human or any other meat eating animals shit. My brother barters his huge piles of cow shit for bails of hay.
