Weed and feed in compost or mulch
« on: March 27, 2011, 02:23 »
Is it safe to put mowings into the compost bin from a lawn which has had weed and feed on it? Does it biodegrade?

If not, could i use the mowings as mulch around fruit bushes where I dont want weeds or other plants to grow anyway?

fatcat1955 has nailed it.
 
Read what it says on the pack of what you've got there. You can't give "coverall all" advice when it comes to chemicals.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
