Is it okay to compost non-organic materials in an organic garden?
I eat organic foods whenever possible. I’m going to be making a vegetable garden that is pesticide-free and, therefore, organic. However, I do know that chemicals linger in non-organic produce (which is, of course, why I don’t buy it!). Will compost made from non-organic foods compromise the "organicity" of my garden and vegetables? How do you know? Thanks!
There will be so little pesticides left after it is broken down that it shouldn’t matter. In addition, the amount taken up by new plants growing in the future from that compost would be very small.
