Would you use it?

no, I probably wouldn't use it. But not for the reasons you might think.. after living in the middle east and seeing those cob walls built with manure in the mix, you lose any squeamishness.
I just think there isn't enough manure to go around for our topsoil...
gobbling it up for more consumption mania can't be good...

Once about 10 years ago I was in Pier 1 store when someone broke a pricey, large piece of pottery. It attracted the attention of everyone in the store because it crumbled into soft bits and we all swore we were looking at a $200.00 pot made of manure...

think i will pass! best use for manure and bio solids is too enrich the land!

I had thought there were soil fertility issues in places where manure is highly valued as fuel or floor covering/other building material. If it's too pricey to ship manure to fields that could use it how is it cheaper to do all this?
