- Will composting break
down pesticide residue?
I'm gonna answer a slightly
different question,
what I think is probably
the more important question.
I'm anticipating a lot of people
would like to use their composting system
for all the food they buy.
We like to buy organic when we can,
but sometimes we buy conventional food.
Is it okay to put that conventional food,
is it has a small amount of
pesticide, into your compost?
Yes, it should be fine.
What'll happen in the compost is
it'll probably be broken
down into smaller molecules,
and those will not be
likely to be re-uptaken
by the plants that are
growing around the Subpod,
so the chances of actually
re-ingesting that pesticide
are very, very small.
