There is little benefit from this component, and the consequences can cause a lot of trouble.

Many summer residents throw any organic waste into compost. But this approach is a mistake.

Just one component will turn valuable fertilizer into "poison" for the plot and plants. As a bonus, it also attracts pests.

What you shouldn't throw in the compost

You shouldn't use old bread as fertilizer. There are two main reasons why it's better not to do this.

Leftover bread is a great bait for rodents and a number of insects. You will have to protect your summer house from mice, rats, shrews, ants and other creatures.

The bread will become moldy, creating excellent conditions for the development of fungus. After using such compost, you will also have to fight diseases.

The second problem is relevant for compost, which is prepared in a short time, and not left to rot for six months to a year or more.
