I cleaned my gutters out and got about 2 barrows of their contents.
It is dark and had lots of moss on top.
Should I compost it, dig it in or throw it away do you think?

I sowed a few tomatoes seeds in a sample of it and they have germinated so
that makes me think its ok., but is it?

I ask because I clean some neighbours gutters from time to time and it
would be a shame to waste if it is useful.

Thanks

Sounds like ideal compost material.

Thanks to all who replied,
Into the compost bin it goes.

Sasha, no lead roofs here where I live, thanks.

I cannot wait till next year to see how it does.

I always compost mine - but if the gutters haven't been cleared for a year
or two it's usually composted itself!
So - think it's fine to use.
Unless anyone else has dire warnings..
