Default Mouldy bread and compost heaps.

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
