Green waste compost Low fertility. Dig in or mulch. Available from large-scale municipal recycling centers may be low in nitrogen but high in potassium. 

Coarse-grade municipal compost (recycled green waste), which is quicker to degrade than bark or wood chips. For perennial beds only. 

Left) Compost pile hygiene The heat generated by the process of decay will kill many pathogens, but material infected with certain very persistent diseases, such as clubroot, should be taken to a green waste recycling center.

One of the greatest threats to peat bogs is gardening, as most bagged multipurpose potting mix is peat-based. Peat has become a mainstay of these soils because it is consistent, sterile and low in nutrients. But when peat becomes waterlogged it forms a solid mass that plant roots find hard to penetrate, and it has no benefit as a soil conditioner or a mulch. In recent years, non-peat soils, based on coir, composted wood, bark and green waste and other natural materials, have become widely available.
