    A couple of questions about compost:

    1) Composting raised beds

    Can spent compost from plant pots etc. be used ?
    Can kitchen waste compost from compost bin and wormery be used ?

    Also, I added organic matter ( chicken manure pellets and well rotted horse manure) this year(last growing season). Do they need more organic matter this year or is it every other year?


    2) Compost for containers

    Can kitchen waste compost from compost bin and wormery be used ?

    Provided the compost has a good texture, is well rotted and not unsightly as is sometimes the case with DIY compost, I would say the answer all your Q's is Yes.

    Compost should be replenished regularly (at least 1/yr) especially if used in RBs to grow veg etc. Also good practice to feed area at the start of each new crop.
