Hey everyone,

This was mentioned in a previous thread I started, but I wanted more info on it.

Biosludge compost (compost made from seweage)...Is this good for your flowers?

I will be making two new large beds this weekend, one for irises the other for a hodgepodge of flowers. I was calling around trying to find places that sold leaf compost. They are all farther away then I would like to travel and cost money (a cheap $14). However, I called the waste plant that is 5 minutes away. They will give this away for free!!! However, are only open M-F.

I am assuming that this will be great for my flowers...however, if it is tilled into my soil Monday then I plant my irises on Monday will it be ok? I dont have to let it sit before planting?

I have a large shipment of Irises from Schreiners coming Monday.

Also, my guess is don't use biosludge compost on veggies or anything for human consumption?



Thanks,
Danielle
