Dear Elizabeth,Thank you for writing. Since oleander is highly toxic to humans and animals, you should not add it to your compost pile. It is also unsafe to burn it. You may wish to contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for advice on safe disposal of oleander.

I dont see why not. I mix it in with all my potted plants! Just mix it with your regular potting soil. The amazing thing with this chicken poop compost is, it doesn't smell and is quite lovely.

You still need compost to brew the tea but it will add to the healthy biology of the tea. A little goes a long way!

The only thing in this product is 100% Organic Whole Psyllium. I can't imagine what they could possibly find hazardous in this product. It is stated on their label that where their crops are grown, no pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and post-harvest chemical treatments are used. I can't figure out California's problem unless they have something against this company. Hope this helps.

No. It is used as a plant and weed killer. It will burn your skin if you get any on you. It is not to be ingested.

The product is used to lower the PH in soil. It does not contain anything that is toxic to plants or animals if used as directed to lower the PH of the soil. I have been using it for my blueberry plants with good success.

I don't see why not. I just pulled one out of my box and gently pulled on it and it was very easy to tear, therefore, it should compost pretty easily.

Nerium oleander /ˈnɪəriəm ˈoʊli¢°.©¡ndər/[2] is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea.[Note 1] It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. The ancient city of Volubilis in Morocco may have taken its name from the Berber name oualilt for the flower.[3] Oleander is one of the most poisonous of commonly grown garden plants Nerium oleander /ˈnɪəriəm ˈoʊli¢°.©¡ndər/[2] is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts.

I'm not sure. Since compost generates its own heat, it may cook the nematodes. I'd do some research if I were you.

Not sure about composting but it is a great leaf and garden trash collector. Gave it to my son-in-law and now everyone in his neighborhood has one.

In the description of the item given by the manufacturer it describes Nature's Avenger as killing weeds, dandelions, grasses and broad leaves without harm to the environment and says it is "great in and around gardens." It is further described as "eco friendly" and "safe for kids, pets and the water supply. I have not used it in a garden put per their description it sounds okay to do.

Yes, this is 20% vinegar or acetic acid. You can use this to kill weeds, etc but need to use care not to get it on your skin, eyes or any plant you don't want to kill. Safer is a formula using 10% vinegar and orange oil given on the Dirt doctor's website.

It is not approved by FDA, for that type of use, so I suspect it would be toxic. Perhaps a Google search for an FDA approved wood oil

I've used it around well established plants with no noticeable consequences. Don't get any of the spray on the leaves. It will kill any green it touches.

Yes, I used it in my organic vegetable garden--and it worked! The active ingredient is castor oil, and the rest is sawdust, granite, and corn starch.

When used as directed it won't kill plants. Do not use it on or around vegetable plants you plan to eat fruit from. I would look at a product called termidor for termites... You can view the directions and usage on both these products webpage..
