I don't think this is really any more of a joke other than hinting that fecal material could be considered "fertilizer". If someone was serious about it, I don't believe that waste tanks would be suitable. There are just too many chemicals in there as well as urine, which contains salts and would essentially poison the ground for plants.Ok, I am too young to know these "old-timer" jokes, so can someone fill me in what is this deal with strawberries and brown water?I thought showering at stations was a bad idea because if they're filling the tank, water might stop flowing.
Regarding the brown water, they should just store it and release it in country areas (gps controlled). Save money and help grow strawberries.
I traveled by train in India a lot where trains dump brown water straight onto the tracks, and never saw strawberries grow around there
Cruise ships have been known to dump their sewage tanks in open water.
