 Powdery mildew - compost or chuck? There's a lot of mildew on my veg this year - cougettes, cucumbers, peas... etc That's a lot of vegetation which could make good compost, but it's not healthy. My heaps/bins get warm, but not hot, so am I erring on the side of caution and preparing to bag it and bin it. Before I do, I thought I'd ask for your thoughts... Chuck it or risk it on the compost? What do you do?      |

| Interesting. I do like a good burn up! I found a facsheet just now which said it was OK to compost... "it is an airborne disease and will not spread via the compost" Hmmm... |

| Don't forget you can use the ash for your plants, so they aren't wasted. I've got enough grubs/pests/ diseases to keep an eye on, so I won't take any chances! I too love a good bonfire!!!  This certainly is the 'Year of the Fungus' - which reminds me- I should go and check on my mushroom logs- I'd forgotten about them! |
