Kara from Dacula, Ga writes
After letting clippings from bushes and shrubs around my house dry in sun for 2-3 months, can i use the clippings in a compost to fertilize my vegetable garden? Will the vegetables be ok to harvest?
As long as you are not going for an organic garden, using the clippings should be fine. Talstar is not a systemic insecticide so it will not be absorbed into the clippings. It is recommeneded to allow the clippings to be in the sun for 3-4 weeks after treatment and before composte.
