I collect a lot of discarded produce from a nearby market, and
feed the majority of it to my goats & geese. I'm receiving a lot more corn husks which my animals are not interested in eating. Usually I would add it to my
compost system. My question is:
The corn husks will have some amount of unknown pesticide concoctions applied by the farmer. I don't want this to be spread around on my farm, so I'm wondering if it is worth taking the corn and composting it through my vermiculture/red composting worm farm. Will the microbes in the compost and in the red worms' guts clean up these unwanted chemicals?
