A preserved compost heap often produces sprouts from the seeds of various vegetables and fruits.
However, these plants should never be eaten, much less transferred to garden beds for further cultivation.
The compost heap must be fully matured to reach the state of "earth" and then it can be used as fertilizer.
Let's listen to the explanations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why You Shouldn't Use Sprouts From Your Compost Heap
In most cases, rotten vegetables and other plant debris sprout.
If you see sprouts of zucchini or potatoes, do not rush to transfer them to the garden bed - this is strictly not recommended.
The thing is that along with these plants you carry diseases, and therefore it will be much more difficult to fight them in the garden.
