Hey folks. Still pretty new to gardening/growing. I was wondering if these compressed wood pallets would be safe for use in my compost? The suppliers website claims they are 92% coniferous and 8% other agents. They are made from Class B wood and are listed as 100% recyclable.

What do we think? Good, bad, or somewhere in between? I appreciate any help.

Best regards.

The devil is in the details …and that 8%.

I know!!! From my readings, Class B is primarily reserved for “industrial composting.” On the company website they specifically say that the 8% is “binders of different qualities,” but that doesn’t really clarify.

Was hoping to put these things to some use and get my hands on some cheap mulch but probably better to be safe.

I appreciate your response, John!
