Hi All,

I had a start when I saw this!

"Note: While screened through a 1/4 inch mesh, this
green waste compost may still contain small amounts
of non-organic foreign objects (glass, metal,
plastic, wood, etc). Accordingly, always use gloves
when handling it. Furthermore, check its internal
temperature before amending with it to ensure that
it has cooled down enough for your purpose.

Use gloves! glass, metal, plastic, wood, etc!

Someone should have told them that beer bottles and
beer cans and left over cars parts DO NOT GO INTO THE
COMPOSTER!

Yikes!

I've been composting for years.


When you are the one composting you know exactly what's in the mix. I
hadn't followed the link but assumed a commercial blend. Having followed
the link it claims to be organic so, again just guessing, I think they
are
covering themselves should something random appear in your garden.

I bought some "premium" "fish" compost from a local supplier. I was very
surprised at the amount of small chunks of glass and plastic in it. We
will picking them out for years.

That was better than the yard of gravel I got from the city truck after
they "sealed" the streets in the neighborhood. This was the loose gravel
that didn't stick to the sealer that they had swept up. There were several
used syringes in that load. They did warn me of that possibility. The
wonders of city living.

At least you were forewarned with the gravel and were not surprised but the
glass and plastic in your "fish" compost would have had me saying rude
words.
