Dave, We have used city sludge for over 30 years with no problems, about 2to3,000,000 gallons a year. The city samples the loads every day they haul, and then each field is soil tested every year,(10-15 samples an acre) and then a complete analysis is given to me. The DNR also monitors this closely. The city does all the paper work, hauling, and aappling. It is all knifed in about 6-8 inches deep, with no hauling on frozen ground. Our use of commercial fertizer is almost nil.
