Composting question
The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words: One of the operations was to compost anything organic, separate soil, dust etc, comminute plastics and mix the lot together as soil conditioner/potting compost. That sounds irresponsible. The plastic pieces acted in the same way as stones in soil: they helped to retain moisture while facilitating drainage. As a side-benefit, the compost was much lighter than soil-based ones. Most stones don't leach out undesirable substances over time. Most plastics don't either. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
