Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
It is generally recommended to avoid using green waste from non-organic sources in your compost if you aim for strictly organic garden practices, especially for food production. This is because non-organic sources (e.g., municipal green waste) may contain residues of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilisers that would then be introduced into your organic soil. If using such sources, ensure they are thoroughly hot-composted to break down potential contaminants, but for true organic integrity, stick to known organic sources.
