Jan 2012

I think it's 80 or close to that today. I worked on my composting. Got a big sack of new compost material from my green grocer and layered newspapers, leaves then green veggies and fruits on top. I have several bins going.

So far, my compost bins are in plastic pots. I'm wondering how people who compost in the open collect the compost liquid. Any explanations.

Also, I have a lot of the liquid from my compost bin. Do I need to cure it or do anything to it other than mix it with water before I put it on my plants? Can it burn the plants?

Let the liquid leach off. The finished compost won't burn plants, but until worms appear... HopeHoops Feb 2012 #7
