Compost is a natural-born killer
Compost is a natural-born killer Garden compost can sometimes eliminate plant
disease, according to researcher Dennis Pitt. Studying diseases of
important crops in southwest England, Pitt's team mixed cultures of
disease organisms into soil, adding different types of compost, and
then grew various crop plants. This work showed a significant
reduction in plant disease. Organisms in compost act in several
different ways to help suppress the growth of disease-causing
bacteria and fungi. 21 SEPTEMBER 1996, P. 25
