Do not grown anything you want to eat in Water treatment compost. Look what happened to Michelle Obama's garden. I did try to pick up a 5 gal bucket from my city's water / waste treatment and found that my worms didn't really care for it to much. Someone told me that is because it is high in metal's and will kill the microbiology of my soil in the yard. I do not know all the truth in this as I never sent a sample off to be test.

On a side note I am able to get City compost from the dump that is made from green waste. We also have a place to get composted horse manure, and I can get aged horse manure from local horse farms.
