I guess a way to look at this would be akin to community trash fires that are sub-combustion temperature. Yay, now we don't have to truck it 100km to the incinerator, we can just burn it in the village square.
Composting is really challenging because a number of waste products, from citrus to inorganic or hybrid-inorganic garbage, can ruin the compost process and compost product. If someone leaves a metal nail in the compost pile and someone else later plants potatoes in it, that nail could end up in your mouth after a potato grows around it.
- eric-hu 3y agoWhy is citrus to be avoided in composting? A quick Google says that’s a myth, but this is the first I’ve heard of it either way. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/ingredients/citrus-peels-compost.htm https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/ingredients/citr...
- 13th_yc_acct 3y agoYou shouldn't put citrus in a vermicompost bin because the worms can't eat it (right away, at any rate). I haven't heard that you can't compost citrus in a regular compost pile however. May be people getting mixed up around different types of composting.
- Tade0 3y agoI assume that it's just like with meat, which lowers the pH of the compost, which in turn is problematic if the plants using it later on have specific requirements in this regard.
- balaji1 3y ago> potato grows around it That's insane. And by the same process, does plastic/microplastic in compost/soil, end up in fruits/veggies?
- mooooooooooooo 3y agoMy semi-educated guess is that micro plastics wind up within the plant via nutrient uptake. No idea how a nail ends up in a potato.
