Processed is probably the wrong word choice. The “shit” was transported here by boat from the city streets and “old style toilets” to be used by the farmers to fertilize their fields, from the 14th century until the beginning of the 1900s. Big money was paid for it. The quote inside this little museum, devoted to manure (:-)), says “from city shit to farm soil”, which rhymes in Dutch.
Roaming About – Liesbet Collaert & Mark Kilty & Maya
We have been perpetual nomads as RVers, sailors, house and pet sitters, and overlanders since 2003. Currently, the three of us are roaming about South America in our truck camper Thirsty Bella.
As lifetime adventurers, we are self-employed and maintain a tight budget. This blog is about all that – and more – to inspire a life less ordinary. Don’t dream but do! 🙂

Processed? I’m curious, being a retired farmer in two of my former lives… Processed how?
