I'm mixing in a little yardwork with the deskwork this morning.
I got a patch of poison oak that is solidly dead, sprayed with Roundup or Oxbow or something.
There's been about 6 months for the sun to partially degrade whatever chemicals are there.
Usually, the way I build soil is, layer of sand, layer of leaves/manure, layer of sand, etc.
It has an effect similar to roto-tilling - IF there is enough time for the worms to do their jobs.
I'm hoping that if I get my soil piles constructed by New Year's, the worms will help finish the process.
So I can use it for vegetables around May 1, or maybe Cannabis
Anyway, I have this one stand of broken down poison oak that would make a good 'leaves/manure' feedstock layer.
Or would it ?
Would you trust these chem companies, to make herbicides that REALLY degrade ?
Anybody tried this before - using sprayed poison oak in a compost pile that is ?
