  Hi Kirk -

  If you don't like the confusion in which the world of composting is stuck=
, then be part of the solution, instead of continuing to confuse the situat=
ion.

  It doesn't help the world of composting if you are not willing to define =
things clearly.

  Hi Elaine

  Help me with a definition please - there was some talk of worm treatment =
of biosolids recently and referred to work (sucessful) in Australia - I alw=
ays took biosolids to mean the heavy stuff (sludge)that remains after parti=
al treatment of municipal sewerage - most of this off the east coast of Aus=
 gets pumped out onto the ocean floor, via what they cutely call a "deep oc=
ean outfall" that means the pipe goes far enough offshore to allow the beac=
hes to LOOK clean - there probably is some worm treatment (I am unaware of =
it) but the most obvious use of worms by municipal authorities is in the tr=
eatment of garbage - the "putrescible waste" portion - there is a very impr=
essive plant doing this somewhere in Brisbane using the flow through princi=
ple that was described. Maybe they mix biosolids (sewerage sludge)in too?

  So my question is
  biosolids = sewerage solids (yes /no)
  biosolids do not equal putrescible waste (yes /no)

  Ok
