Poo it Stinks

[Bald Rick]

Why does MAN poo smell so much worse than LADY poo?

Always have to "give it 10" if I win the race ........

Sadly, doesn't work like that. They move in from down south for the view, get on the parish council with their other southern mates, and spend their early retired lives complaining about everything.

If no one ever complained, we would still be living in mud huts and wandering off into the bush clutching a handful of dried grass every morning.

The stuff I have is lime stabalised sludge [grey colour [from plant 3 miles away and it varies in stinkability ! However , it is now going to be trucked 30 miles to a AD plant [no lime added] and then the truck will return with a dewatered solid digestate back which is much less smelly and is really black in colour.

I've lived in the countryside my whole life and I would be so angry if human sh!t was spread next to my house.

What do you think should be done with it?

Spreading it on the fields is the solution. Unless anyone has a better suggestion, and is prepared for any consequences of it then fair enough. Ditto the resulting need for digging holes to extract phosphate, potash and coal to make the energy for the nitrogen fert.

Usually spread or load a bit of the lime added stuff for a couple of customers. They've not been able to get hold of it this year, seems to be going elsewhere.

poor old @reboot often gets some abuse on facebook for this!

We have the newquay sewage works over the hedge from us, built in the late 90's.
In the beginning all the locals suffered from stomach upsets as it could be smelt on the wind [emoji853]
Sww run it better these days but it still smells.
A friend has the bio solids from there and tips it in a bund out on the downs and it nothing new for it to stink out the local village.
Then the immigrants get upset [emoji6]

Could you put up with it for a day or so?

Severn Trent Sewer Men. Enlightening. What a filthy, hypocritical lot humans are.
Out of sight, out of mind.

I agree! We should dig a big hole and put it in there. Or send it to China!

You just know she’s one of them people that no matter the circumstances or place they shout “ I have rights”.

I think its the using farmers fields for cheap uncontrolled storage for months on end that people complain about.
As I said up thread I bet there's not many big piles of it right next to the farm house.

 

[betweenthelines]

The complainers are only getting their own back

 

[holywell farmer]

What farmer reaches a compromise plough or cultivate

The complainers are only getting their own back

It in the ground 24 hours after spreading

There are controls on its storage. It's unlikely a farmer would choose to store it to deliberately cause a nuisance.......although if the neighbours were just pains then siting it as near as legally allowed might be an option.

While there are many who harp on about their rights, so long as a product is being used in its legally permitted way, then it's a live and let live situation.

Personally I'm surprised that piles of manure, sludge etc are often sited in ways that don't seem to comply with the rules. But with proper (considerate) siting and prompt incorporation it needn't hum too much.

I may be wrong but I believe that the safe sludge matrix allows spreading on grassland without the need to be incorporated......

Stats say 3.6m tons of treated human waste applied to land pa in the UK. That's 54kg per person. Or 150g per person per day.

Pooptastic.

It's interesting that the farmers always get stick for this.....

Why not the sewage company who are bringing the stuff and doing the job?

Why not the people producing it!
