● garden: Organic Gardening Tip "...toxic biosolids may be used even in organic farming, and may be found in USDA 100% organic compost, mulch and potting soil for use in your own backyard. These products do not need to disclose the presence of biosolids, but some companies will list “milogranite” on the label, which means it contains toxic biosolids. Your best alternative is to contact your local nursery and ask them if they use biosolids in their compost. Another alternative is to make your own, using a composting bin or wood chips for example. When it comes to buying organic food, the only way to find out if biosolids were used is to talk to the farmer." ~ Drug Companies Responsible for Severe Environmental Pollution, Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola, August 09, 2023.
