Mouldy bread and compost heaps.
In article m, dommy
writes Hi all, I was just wondering, seeing as once bread goes mouldy, it usually gets covered in green mould really fast. So if I were to mix this in with other peelings etc, would it speed up the decomosition of the peelings as well? Or is it a different type of bacteria. The green mould isn't bacteria, it's fungi. Fungi are usually fairly specific about what they will grow on. Also is it reccomened to add bread to the compost heap, and what type of matter will it break down into? Bread doesn't have a lot of substance to it and doesn't add a lot to the compost heap, and it may attract rats -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
