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.

Seattle

Wow, scary stuff.
