Best Answer

Inherently unharmful is how safe compost is. The dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter lacks non-organic and toxic materials when proper procedure is followed regarding the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables. It offers healthy inputs to soils and soil food web members (such as plants) without harmful after- or side-effects.
