This compost includes fertilizers and all the best of things my taxes can buy. Good enough for flower beds and general landscape use, but not for vegetable gardens. You have no idea what herbicides & insecticides was used on those "organic materials" before they went to the landfill for composting. People put some really nasty things at really nasty rates on their yards before they cut, bag, and put on the curb for pickup. Red People put all those chemicals on their lawn, and then collect it all up and send it to the waste center, which in turn means they will have to put more chemicals on to replace what they removed. Stupid idea. Good for the chemical companies. Bad for your yard and the environment. I have no problem with using chemicals. It is the misuse and overuse that is the problem. |
