Using blighted compost.

I've got some compost left in buckets, that I used to try to grow Potatoes in last year. Unfortunately, the Pots got taken in with blight, and as a result, I lost them. I wanted to hang on to the compost until this spring, in the vain hope that any trace of blight might have died off.

Is it ok for me to use the compost for either my home compost bin, or as a conditioner for the flower bed? Or should I just chuck it!

 

I would use it on the garden on something that isn't related - so not Potatoes / Tomatoes and their relatives

 

Thank you both for your input. I shall use the compost on the flower beds, and maybe in some of the pots that I'll be using for some of my annuals.

Thanks again. xx

 

Thank You Shiney. I think I'm going to just take it to the refuse site. They have green skips, so I'll let them get rid of it. I did wonder if it might damage some of the plants I have in the border, and as I'm still very much learning, what plant belongs to what family, I think precaution is the better option here.

Thank you all again for your replies. This learner gardener really appreciates it.

 

last year I used the compost from my potato buckets to grow cougettes and pumpkins at the other end of the garden and no adverse effect .
