The smell is strongest when the heaps first heat up and start to steam. Just to clarify, oil of wintergreen - are you saying that this occurs naturally in composted bark? Yes. And in reasonable amounts if you choose the right species and mostly stripped bark. It is pretty impressive to find heaps of bark steaming in the woods in mid-winter and on a still day the smell of it lingers in the air. Well that is probably what it is then. I guess it builds up in the sealed bag and smells pretty strong when it is first opened. It seems to have calmed down a bit after several days. Still, just because this chemical is produced naturally doesn't necessarily mean that it is harmless to grow vegetables in it. Hopefully the concentartion is too low to be a concern. |
