Horticulture/Disposing of Garden Wastes

Disposing of garden wastes is a science all to itself, mostly involving composting.

Deciding what plant materials to compost, what to burn, what to throw out:


 * Does the material contain seeds
 * Does the material contain disease organisms
 * Does the material contain chemicals that might be harmful to compost piles
 * Will the material colonize the compost pile
 * Will the material break down in the compost pile in a reasonable amount of time

Other materials:
 * Plastic pots
 * Fence posts, etc.
 * Wire
 * Stakes
