Can you compost the cuttings and moss removed after Lawn feed and weed
with moss killer? I would have thought that residue might kill your
plants afterwards. However perhaps time cures all. Seems a shame to bin
it, also the way things are going that could be a problem as the councils
check on bin contents.


Its usually printed on the instructions, and IIRC usually says dont use the
first one or two mowings.


Oh no! I realise now I've never thought about that and my compost heap
contains cuttings for at least 2 treatment last year and the year
before.... (my compost heap is fairly cold and not well aerated and
therefore quite slow). I suppose I better test it first before spreading
it all over the garden. If it's contaminated, I'll have a huge amount of
compost for the bin! I really hope that with time, it's diluted and lost
it';s action.
