Biosolids is Our Passion!
Other Insightful Articles
Deirdre Bingman, (Me! Owner of this Blog) - I have been working with biosolids since 2002. My two young kids and my passion for biosolids have lately created new offspring: Biosolids Boy and Compost Kid. My husband is the gardener in the family and uses biosolids in our home square foot garden and other landscaping. I try to blog often often about all the new and cool stuff that biosolids do! Here is some more in my recent This I Believe article.
