Composted Sewage

Just been down the fields, one field has got huge piles of it, round the back.

Each pile has got hundreds of Tomato plants growing out of it. The seeds pass through our digestive tracts unharmed.

 

Free Tomatos then

 

Best take a walk in the opposite direction tomorrow Ziggy

 

I thought everybody knew that, I can remember some friend of the family, who worked at the sewerage works, telling my mom he had been hacking down the tomato plants that day.

 

It'll probably get ploughed in before the plants set. Be interesting to see what sorts they are though. Pity i'm moving, i'd have a few away otherwise.

 

It's definitely good for the veg. The house I was reared in - in the days of yore, had no sewer main, therefore no flushing toilet. We had an outside 'house' that had a large metal bucket with a wooden seat. I can still see my brothers and I now, trotting down the garden behind my dad with the bucket and a spade to dig a hole in our huge veg patch to bury the contents.
