Just something to think about or maybe just something out of the norm for a chuckle. Part of my job is wastewater technician for my city. Every year, the upper wall of our old plant sprouts tomatoes and various other plants. Hydroponics at work as all there is holding these plants up is cracks in rusted metal as the most foul of liquids on earth endlessly splash the exposed root balls as air diffusers churn the mixture.

These plants refuse to die till winter. Grow like mad and bear huge, beautiful fruits. Too bad they are forever splashed with nasties and fecal bacteria.

Ph in the plant normally runs from 6.0 - 7.0

Pure concentrated liquid doodie. Hmmm, makes me wonder about all the hype of chemical salts. A miniature organic aeration basin ought to be simple enough to make and use other than human waste to provide the nutrients. Has anyone here ever done such a thing?

Properly aerated sewage with bacteria at work does not smell bad at all as some may think. I might try something along these lines just to see.

We just put our new facility online last month. There won't be any more doodie tomatoes to gawk at...at least not at work!
