Some components thrown into the compost will bring diseases or weeds to the site.
Thrifty gardeners try to prepare or buy fertilizers that will bring maximum benefit to the plantings and provide a solid harvest.
You can set up a compost pit right on the site. It can be used to utilize many organic wastes. The result is a nutritious mixture that is very popular among plants in the garden and vegetable garden.
Sometimes harmful components get into the compost pit. They spoil the fertilizer, creating a threat to the crops in the long run.
Fallen fruit
Fallen apples should not be left under the tree. But not all fruits can be thrown into the compost.
Apples can be infected with a fungus that may not die for 1-2 years. When such compost is added, the fungus will affect tomatoes, cucumbers or other crops.
Weeds
Couch grass, burdock, and hogweed tolerate cold very well. Weed seeds do not die in the cold and remain viable for a long time. Once in optimal conditions, they will quickly germinate and create additional trouble.
Branches of diseased plants
Tomatoes with late blight, rotten vines, squash or grape leaves with powdery mildew. The pathogens will not die and will also get to the site.
