Brown Patch in Compost Pile

skoot_cat
17 years ago

I tore out some post infected brown patch area

of st.augustine which had been treated corn meal

and put it into my compost pile. (about a 1/4 of

the pile is post brown patch)

My plan was to use the finished compost(tea)

on the lawn, but now Im afraid I might

reintroduce brown patch into the lawn.

Any Thoughts would be greatly appreciated
