Rotting Banana mixed into soil

These comments about "polluted" municipal compost are indeed food for thought and I will ask the City about the issue. But I wonder whether treating yard waste at the high temperatures they say wouldn't be enough to "kill" or neutralize the bad things cited on this thread. You need a certain sustaining of temp to encourage decomposition but not so hot that you kill off the good microorganisms, but I have never seen anything that says composting destroys garden chems. I am happy to read any articles about it, though. Seattle and LA apparently had problems with one chemical. http://articles.latimes.com/2001/dec/27/local/me-18323 |
