Being jailed for bringing foreign plants into Australia is nothing to do with whether we support or oppose primitive living. In fact, much of our flora & fauna is more primitive than that found in Europe, Asia, Africa & the Americas. We even have mammals that lay eggs - a very primitive method of reproduction compared to modern mammals internal (placental) reproduction.

It is because we have strict quarantine laws down here, due to the fact that Australia's geographic isolation over the past 100+ million years means most of our our plants & animals have never encountered the various diseases, fungi & other pests that are commonplace in Eurasia & have thus developed no immunity or methods to combat them.

Reminds me about a TV show Border Patrol: First question do you have something to declare..NO.
And then it turns out they have their bags loaded with all kind of shit

Like me ...last time I was in Croatia 3 years ago i bought nice , very big watercolur , so big it was all the way to Australia in my hand , was in wooden frame [ one must declare any wood here ]
They asked if I have anything wooden and I say NO, they asked few more time and I say NO, why do you ask me again and again
Finaly they asked what is that in your hand ...................holly crap

I never thought about people in the UK not having septic systems.

I am kind of lost on what you mean in regards to rural area. People in rural areas have septic tanks too.

I do realize that in some areas of third world countries, they may not have indoor plumbing. As a norm,
they don't have dish detergents either and usually they have an out house or one particular area for the
family to do their business.

Cow poo is great for gardens. Human waste, detergents, and other household toxins, not a good
idea to eat it or anything that happens to grow in it.

Me thinks she is talking about Pakistan instead of the UK...but of course I could be wrong.

Ok. I thought she was referring to UK due to her country symbol, I guess.

you guys,,,hello,,im talking about Pakistan not England,no complaints here whatsoever,have septic tanks,other tanks,all kinds of tanks............but tanks across the otherside of the planet,well me don't think so.

maybe in the cities they well have em but in a rural area i have never seen or heard of someone having one,i do have proper bathrooms,toilets etc but the drainage system here is kinda universal for all living in a rural environment.
too expensive for a single house to have drainage as my home is miles from anywhere and everything about it i designed so i consider i haven't done too badly with what i had.

the farmers around me do appreciate the free fertilizer tho,no complaints from them

That's just kind of strange to me. Not totally strange as I do understand poor populations don't
have that.

However, a pipe such as pvc pipe and septic tank is not actually expensive. There are ways to
get around that.

I think I could rig something up myself if I had to.

Simply connect the pvc pipe to the drainage area, whether that be the kitchen sink or else where.
Multiple pipes could be used. They could be connected according to size and if nothing else, plumbers
glue and/or tape. Take a shovel and dig a hole. Purchase a cheap septic tank....you could make your
own out of a variety of cheap options such as large barrels, or any old metal type large container. At
the very least, put in rock yourself and concrete mix. Direct the pipes to the hole.

By the way, human waste is not a source of fertilizer.

yes you are right should be a septic tank,really never got round to it,will try and get one made...its just whilst my house was being built i was involved in a horrific car accident ,which basically meant my home had to be built quickly and alot of important aspects were left out or neglected. i will definitely consider this and most probably get some local guy to make me one.

cow dung is a very popular form of natural fertilizer , i mean we are all made from dust and will return to dust,poo and all
