Maybe there is a better way than just dumping it in the bay. People
keep trying to make solar hot water work but maybe we should instead
use solar collectors to heat ****. Really, liquefy it(a macerator)
and then pump it onto your roof where solar concentrators evaporate
the water (and kills bacteria) and a worm screw gadget feeds the dried
powdered "effluent"into a box. Once a week, a truck comes by and
carries it away for use as fertilizer.
Why is this better than sending it to a "treatment plant"? It avoids
the necessity of running sewage lines and uses on-site resources. A
home could be completely off-grid without a septic tank.
So, how much are we talking about drying anyway? If we all use low
flush and front loading washers, the amount would be well within the
ability of a rooftop solar concentrator. On cloudy days, you'd use
electricity to dry it.
OK, the thought of "a mess of steaming ****" on my roof don't sound so
good but it could work.

Wouldn't' a simpler solution be to go tot he back yard with a spade
shovel, strike deep and turn the sod. Take a dump and re-cover paper
and all, next day, different location. *That would cut sewer costs and
help your lawn.

It works for the dog and Ed ****s more than a family of 4.

You need to buy the high quality dog food. The higher the quality the
less the ****.

Ed is on a high fiber "diet" dog food. It isn't exactly cheap.

Amazing how much corn and soy meal costs now days.

This is what we're feeding our new one.

Not a lot of corn or soy meal in it.

But, it aint' cheap.

This is what Mr Ed eats

Ingredients: Chicken meal, brown rice, peas, cracked pearled barley,
millet, powdered cellulose, oatmeal, chicken, rice bran, potatoes,
beet pulp, chicken fat (preserved with natural tocopherols), natural
flavor, flaxseed, fish meal, egg product, choline glucosamine
hydrochloride, dried chicory root, chondroitin sulfate, L-Camitine,
carrots, kelp, apples, cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley
flake, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper
proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium
iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide,
ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate,
manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin
B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic
acid

Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 14.4%

Sounds like one of the better foods. Which is it?

Or do you mix it yourself? :)

Costco

Which one?

In any case, it's probably much cheaper than the Merrick stuff. I wish Costco
had one with beef as the main ingredient. Our vet recommended beef as having a
more calming influence on the dog.
