Ew.  Kindly to not be making me think about sh*t right before
luncheon?

That's not, I understand, at all good for growing veggies unless
you are in the habit of eating them cooked to death.  Human waste
is a very efficient fertiliser, but an even more efficient
vehicle for spreading human diseases.  And yes, handwashing
helps, but most people who are not medical professionals don't
wash their hands that often, nor is anything we say going to
persuade them of the necessity.

It might be okay for growing flowers, if you didn't plan to let
children play nearby or pick any of them.  I am perfectly fine
with the fact that people are not allowed to use their sh*t in
their gardens hereabouts.  It's a biohazard.
