I have utilized the free city compost in my area for the last few years. I see the neighbors with their little yellow lawn tags and cringe. I do believe there is a high percentage of fallen leaves that goes into the compost in my area. Even though I am nervous about using it- I have not seen any negative results. The plants grow very well and weeds still grow too. I am hoping that the amount of pesticides and such that is in there is still less than what I'd get off the grocer's shelf. In any case- it is a budget matter for me since my city recently had a huge increase in property taxes- my feeling is- they owe me something for it. So far so good.
