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.

We just put all the garden waste into the compost, and occasionally will
add some of the kitchen waste that is good to compost, too.

Same here and I am forever amazed at the amount we put in the bin compared
with the amount that comes out. I like to think of it as my secret
concentrator.

I use kitchen waste, my lawn clippings, a few neighbor's lawn clippings,
and all the leaves I can gather from my yard and neighbor's city compost
tubs, plus ground up tree branches. This last year I added the purchased
5 yards of "fish compost" and just smoothed the beds and laid down a
inch or 2 layer over all the veggie beds. Probably going to do the
surface composting in the future if it keeps working as well. The
no-till thing seems to work.

My 2 5' x 5' x 4' bins were both heaped at the end of leaf collection.
Down probably a foot from there now.

An excellent discussion of something close to topic. Plants sharing.
