composting brassica tops after club root
« on: May 25, 2012, 15:53 »
Hi all

Searching back throught the threads it's clear you shouldn't compost roots affected by club root - but is it OK to compost the tops of the plants? I've just taken down my PSB and kale, and there is lots of strong foliage despite the club root - can I compost this or put it in the green waste?

You can compost it.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
