Default Do you compost

Our citys compost at one time was contaminated by chemicals some homeowners
use on their yard. It killed some plants it was used on.

Ya know i could see that happening!

But how did it get into the compost (enough to cause damage) if they are just
putting in clipping and such? And where do you live?


It was one herbicide that just didn't biodegrade, that was effective at very low
doses.
