Is Compost Safe on Veggie Gardens? - NCCC

Environment · By · April 14, 2020 · published on carolinacompost.com · 5 minutes

Here at the NC Composting Council one of the questions that we are often asked is whether compost is safe to use on a vegetable garden. It seems that a lot of incorrect information is out there, giving people the impression that all compost is loaded with germs that could make them sick. It’s true, the issue is complicated, and a pathogen on a leaf of lettuce could make you sick, that is why so much research has been done and so many safety protocols are in place for industrial compost makers. In this article we will discuss some of the basic issues of healthy compost production and the measures that have been taken to ensure that the compost you buy and use is safe.
