Reply To: Municipal compost and chemicals

[Hawfinch]

It sounds like it’s doing all right in your garden Ali. Yesterday I checked my veg patch, and in many places the thick layer of compost has almost disappeared, so I guess the worms and soil organisms didn’t mind too much. It has to be said that I did spread a good layer of composted manure under it at the time, so maybe that’s the reason why.

As far as the chemicals are concerned, the jury is still out for me, so I’ll be putting more effort into making my own compost which will be guaranteed to be without any chemicals.
