Nothing survives an well executed composting process My
Council
jollop looks as near to perfectly composted material as I have
ever
seen. Time will tell if it only looks good, or if it actually
benefits the garden.
In rec.gardens archive in google, you should be able to find
the
threads about their equivalent of council compost containing
high
levels
of plant-toxic chemicals. These were supposed to have arrived on
clippings from treated lawns.
Do you know of anyone who, for this reason, does not use their own
grass cuttings either as a mulch or a compost ingredient?
As an extensive collector of other peoples' grass cuttings for my
mulches and compost, I don't accept contributions from anyone who
uses
lawn weedkillers.
That sounds strict. Are you adhering to this rule because you have
had some bad experience in the past srising from the use of
contaminated grass cuttings?
