Well it must just be going to a landfill somewhere. Shame they don't
compost and sell it. Some
outfit in Maryland was doing that with sewage sludge. Seems like horse
and cow manure would be very
usable. I know my grandfather would have loved it!

One of my best friends was in that family (the Bevards).
He is the machine gun guy I have talked about..

They had quite a deal going with that sludge. They drove those red 18
wheeler concrete mixer looking things to haul it.
Their primary business was aggregate and concrete. They would buy some
property in PG county where the "soil" was "bank run gravel". That is
basically concrete, right in the ground with clay replacing the
portland.
They dug it up, graded it out and ended up with the silt that was too
small to sell as sand or gravel. They spread that out, took a sheeps
foot roller and turned the sludge into it, then let it age out for a
while to get the smell out, turning it over a few more times. Then
they sold it to builders as top soil.
Sod would go nuts in it, a whole lot better that just in the bank run
gravel yard they had anyway.
The only downside was cherry tomatoes came up in the yard. It turns
out the seeds survive digestion and sewer treatment.

Here it's wild strawberries. Those little *******s must go through birds
and get self fertilized.
They're a bitch to get rid of.

A few years ago, we ripped out all the decorative strawberries and planted
Vinca Minor. Damn strawberries came back and killed off the Vinca.

After the plant came up, did they try tilling them under ?
