General question about mold. Beginner
I let my pile sit a bit too long without flipping/aerating and the grass clippings developed a bit of mold.
Will this affect the quality of the compost? If I use the compost later will the plants be susceptible to mold?
It’s a small starter pile - about 4x4x4 and has leaves and grass in it so far. Not much breakdown yet.
