Compost on food gardens?

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

I heard somewhere that it is not recommended to use kitchen compost ie. composted food scraps, grass etc on a food garden. I thought it would be an Ideal source of nutrients. Has anyone heard anything about this from either stand point, either to use or not to use? Thanks

Common practice is to avoid compost made from meat scraps in a kitchen garden, but this is really more because meat scraps tend to attract rats and other scavengers than for any other reason.
Compost can be used on any growing thing and in Organic Gardening it should be used on food crops as well as on ornamentals. That being said, the compost must be made well. A large compost pile, kept damp, will generate heat within the pile, so much heat that it kills harmful micro-organisms. However, the pile must be large enough to build up heat, and it also must be turned several times so that the cooler outside bits are also exposed to the high temperatures of the interior.
Rodale ( Organic Gardening Magazine) has good instructions on making compost, as does Mother Earth News. If you aren’t making your own compost, but are buying it, most commercially available composts are safe to use on all crops.

Consider this: Some people advocate the use of humanure, yes, people poop. Once composted, and composted properly, even this substance is safe. The idea creeps me out, but if humanure is safe after being composted, certainly your potato peels and coffee grounds are no problem.

Where can I get a compost tumbler in Hong Kong?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I am very interested in making compost. I have seen all the websites etc. I want to get a tumbler as it is contained but cannot find a website that ships internationally. Any ideas? or does anyone know how to make a tumbler at home?

The new B&Q at Megabox will probably have them. If not, there are many garden centres in the northern New Territories.
