Compost.

Yes. Or so the respected gardeners who've done the courses locally told me when I asked the same question.

Interesting.......

Evaporate?

I have a question please.I picked up several bags of compost from the council.How best to use it in order to enrich the soil of my allotment?
I had put in horse manure in my allotment soil before the winter.
Thanks

I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about council compost.
Our green bins are collected every other week and can be used for garden waste ( ie weeds, printings, grass clippings),cardboard, and kitchen waste. This is sent off somewhere to be composted and then sold back or sometimes even given back to local people to be used on their gardens.
However due to the fact that there are meat products present from the kitchen waste, really these shouldn't be used for veg growing. Fine for flowers or round fruit trees, but not on soil from which you will directly harvest veg.
It is the same rules for use of matter from compost toilets.
There should be a warning on the bags.
Sorry, end of rant!

If the materials are composted at a high enough temperature, which the council composter should reach, the resulting product should be quite safe to use.

I'd be more worried about the herbicides from weed killers tbh
