Downside of biosolids are pharm waste that isn’t composted out. Your biosolid fed garden could uptake Prozac.
Biosolids should only be used on ornamentals, nothing else.

“Your biosolid fed garden could uptake Prozac.”

Now THAT’S an idea. I’d eat a whole lot more broccoli (“Proccoli” ™ ?) and I’d probably be a bit less depressed…

Kym, due to your recent refresher on your well-designed posting guidelines, I refrained from the obvious “Fortuna is full of class A, exceptional quality $#!&” comment.

You’re welcome. 😉
