I just finished filling in the beds with 15 month finished compost, and the contamination wasn’t as bad as I thought.
Besides the produce labels and the blue strand of plastic from my old tarp, I think the rest of it was all swept up when collecting leaves off the street.
I use my finished compost for horticultural purposes, and I double-screen the stuff I use for my cilantro and basil.
Plastics are everywhere… it would be crazy to think I could remove 100% of it from my compost, but I’m definitely satisfied with what I have.
Composting is always worth it 🙂
