The pink stuff on the pumpkin seeds is a fungicide/ insecticide- usually Captan or Thiram. Wash your hands well after handling. You also find it on sweetcorn seeds from many suppliers.
I'm growing broad beans this year as no one in my area seems to grow them. I'm shocked both at how easy they are to grow, and with that in mind that they are not popular here. They have taken virtually no work to produce stout green seedlings, as simple as peas!
I heard you couldn't use human waste on vegetables (unless it's from vegans) because of the dangerous pathogens in it. Does leaving it to cook in the sun for a year kill the pathogens?
/Squeee James Wong!! I love his shows and all his work! Thank you everyone from the Horticultural channel, as always your shows are such an inspiration and so much fun to watch.

@SueMoseley That's what we've been told. Leave it for a year in the sun "to cook".
