    Sort of ignorant to how “sewage” is actually used as fertilizer, the same microbial processes that make animal sewage safe can make human sewage safe. Anyone with a septic system on their home sees how this works.

    Mushrooms are also grown in literal shit but it’s steam sterilized.

      We’re strongly advised not to grow anything edible within 10’ of our septic leach field. I don’t see how septic shows the average home owner that human sewage can be made safe.
