HI everyone I hope your herbs are thriving after the long winter.
I came across some information about compost boosters which are supposed to speed up the process. Some of those plants listed are herbs so I thought I would share them with you.
Alpine strawberry
Alfalfa
Black Elderberry
Calendula
Chamomile
Comfrey
Dandelion
Hollyhock
Oak Bark
Sage
Stinging Nettle
Valerian
Yellow Dock

The instructions say to dry the plants and powder them. Then as you build your compost pile sprinkle it between each layer. If you want to use it on an existing pail you add 1/4 to 1 cup of the booster to the center of your pile and mix it in.
It also says you can add these plants fresh to your pile if you don't want to dry and powder them.
