moldy bread?

Milton, MA(Zone 6a)

Now that I told DH about Tomato late blight and how you need to dispose of infected materials in a sealed plastic bag, not compost them, he says see, that's what I keep trying to tell you. We shouldn't put moldy bread (etc.) in the Compostumbler! I think it's altogether different, bread mold doesn't harm garden plants, just bread. What do you folks think?

It's not the same. Moldy bread can go in a compost pile. A diseased plant should not because you expose the compost to the same disease and it can be spread to plants again when you use the compost.

Mold that breaks organics down are beneficial.

That's what I though! Thanks so much.

When I find moldy plants, I uproot & burn them to destroy the mold. Then the ashes go into the compost.

If I have an unreasonably large amount of ashes, I spread the excess around my banana trees. They love the potassium.
