even our Dear Jackie

Who?

said not to put grey water on root crops, lest the evil small traces of e.
coli in shower water get "in" your root crops. it's the only dumb thing
i've ever known her to say so far, but really. it's tickety-boo to put
horse manure all over your root crops for the worms to drag down, but god
forbid the shower water goes on them ;-) e. coli can't survive in a carrot
for months, for heaven's sake.

It sounds as though Dear Jackie is a politican. They're politicans because
they have no specialist ideas as a rule. If they had they'd be earning
honest money.
