according to my information this is a bit of a confusion about cause and
effenct: first the city elders of london decided to go for the sewer system
and abandon the old shit-collector and composting business solution - liebig
figures that if nutriens are sent to the sea they need to come from
somewhere else - and started his research and developments... (too bad the
guy didnt understand about synergistic agriculture...)
