No, not any more, it used to be common practice up until the mid to late 1970's you knew it was Human waste by the amount of tomato seedlings (tomato seeds survive in the human gut) However with understanding gained in blood borne pathogens (diseases) such as HIV etc it was finally banned I think by the EU. However I suspect that It is still permissible to use treated and sterilised waste but it is much cheaper to used animal derived manure which doesnt need treating and so isn't done.

i think of the various different solutions neglected the factor of your question. i will attempt to grant you many short solutions. a million) you could stick to too plenty -- greater suitable than the flowers choose for and greater suitable than may well be retained by way of the soil. This severe fertilizer may well be moved off web site by way of the two floor water and floor water. 2) At particular tiers of a crop (utilising cotton as an occasion) in case you stick to nitrogen fertilizer, it is going to reason the cotton plant to objective to maintain starting to be and putting on new bolls extremely than shutting down and maturing the bolls already on the plant. this could convey approximately overdue season insect issues, overdue adulthood of the crop that has effects on harvestability and high quality. 3) Use of a chemical fertilizer while none is needed can value pointless money to the farmer. 4) some chemical fertilizer is created from organic gasoline. This finally ends up in an added use of a constrained source.

No, used to back in like, the 20's but it was found to have lots of diseases and people could die from eating unwashed fruit. Now a lot of farmers don't even use animal poo because of the diseases, unless it's in a little vegetable patch.

Septic tanks are certainly emptied onto fields for crops to grow on.
If this worries you, don't forget to consider the alternatives. If sewage is dumped into the sea, it will end up in the food chain eventually anyway.

It is standard at organic farms. That is why they can say "organic grown without chemical fertilizers." The idea originated in China where they called it night soil and has become popular again.

Yes they do and have been doing same for 30 years or more, although it is supposed to be treated beforehand. On a hot summers day you would 'nt think so.

yes they do, i believe it's called bio-solids? it has to be treated first I'm not sure how, i know it doesn't just come out of a tank and onto a field(stupid) it has to ferment or decompose(not sure of the word) even manure fr. a farm has to sit before it's spread. some how with age it gets better

No. Not if you specifically ask for it to go to the North Sea.
