Been awhile since I posted anything #Garden #Organic #Homestead.
So!!!
Myth Busted!!!
I have been told several times to "not" put citrus in my #compost pile.
I put literally 100 lbs in my pile this season.
They said it would kill the #Vermicompost (worms)
Nope! Got literally thousands of red wrigglers.
They said my compost would be Acidic
Nope! 7.0 almost perfect
Disclaimer...
My compost pile was as diverse of materials than most.
Kitchen Scraps, Lawn Clippings, dry leaves, Cardboard (Amazon) and some Chicken poop every now and then to heat it up.
Just make sure you turn the pile every 3 days, keep it moist and you should be fine.
But! Always test your compost for PH. Most plants hate acidic soil.
