Nowadays folks need to be aware of the ‘persistent herbicides’ that can turn your good intentions into ‘killer compost’. This is becoming more common than when I posted this. So if you use the products cited in that post on your grass/lawn and then turn around to compost your clippings, you may have made ‘killer compost’.
It recently happened to my garden guru, who relies on his crops for income. His soil is unusable for several years and may lose his ‘organic’ label. So tragic.
Bottom line: if you bring in compost, first try growing beans in it to see if you get distorted growth. Otherwise you can poison your garden for a few years from the ‘persistent’ herbicide.
