Hi everyone, I have another question. This morning, I harvested some carrots from my raised bed, among other things. The greens were covered in aphids. Can I still toss them in the compost bin, or should I put them in the yard waste instead? I don’t want them to multiply in the compost bin and then end up on my garden beds the next time I spread the compost. What do you guys think? :-) Best, Jassi

Ich definitiv pro Kompost! Schon wegen des ökologischen Gleichgewichts…

Ich stimme @Mirilü zu. So lange leben Blattläuse nicht, dass du dir darüber Gedanken machen musst.
