Can compost be too old to use?
Hi all, I have been given free use of part of a garden for growing my own vegetables. The elderly owner of the garden has two dustbins full of old compost sitting in one corner of the garden. The compost was apparently made from a mixture of garden trimmings and kitchen waste. Unfortunately, it's been sitting there with lids on for several years, and now looks like a grim, brown slimey mess, with an inch or two of liquid on top! Is this still good for spreading on my prepared vegetable patch, or should I dump it? There's a pile of rotted grass-trimming compost, probably three years old. I was thinking of trying to mix the two together and spreading the resulting concoction on my veggie beds. What do you think? Thank you, JD |
