Ew, biosolids and other wastes

This may cause some controversy, but I am not writing for the sake of opinions, or controversies.

When I first heard of liquid fertilizers, I assumed it was a chemical fertilizer that was sprayed onto crops.  Then more information becomes available as I research it, and I was not happy with the information.  Human wastes that were treated, and sprayed over agricultural land for fertilizer.  Not composted.  Not sterilized.  Not incinerated.

Recently, there have been many recalls of vegetable crops from grocery stores, and the reasons have been similar each time.  A form of E coli, or other organism found on the food.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or any other scientist for that matter, to figure out that using human wastes, or even animal wastes in its raw forms, is not good at all!

Some reports have shown that the plants love the stuff.  They love the easily accessible nutrients within the excrement that was sprayed over the crops.  They grow robust, and fast.  However, history is filled with reports, or accounts, of humans using improper sanitation and suffering the consequences for it.  Europe paid that price, and somehow science has decided that the lessons learned from the plagues that inflicted human civilization are isolated from modern society by modern science.

The problem with science is that if it starts out biased, it can prove just about anything with faulty reasoning, or other 'proof' that is too numerous to mention, as well as countless studies that show they are correct.  Well, those who suffered those plagues also trusted the ones who were 'in the know', and the results are recorded for us, lessons we should not repeat.

I am not going to go on a rant about any one farm, or policy that should be abolished.  That isn't my goal here, or a future goal.  You can't fix a broken system that is resistant to all attempts to help, or repair.

The only thing any one person can do is do the right thing, for themselves, and others around them.

My own farm/market garden that I plan will only use compost, composted manures from reputable farmers that I am acquainted personally with, or crop residues from my own crops.  This isn't a pledge, or a promise.

This is my way.  I can't change who I am inside, so I would not sell seedlings, or crops, to anyone that I wasn't willing to eat or grow myself.  Therefore, all seedlings I will be selling this Spring will be non GMO, and grown in soil, compost, peat moss, and composted manure(bagged as that is all I can find locally at the moment).

In the future, any crops I grow will be grown in real soil, enriched with compost, composted manures, crop residues (straw or chaff) or naturally occurring minerals, like lime and potash.  Other methods of farming, such as companion planting, crop rotation, and beneficial vegetation that replenishes the soil, will be used to further enrich the soil without destroying the land that God gave us to take care of.
