My city collects waste food for composting. There is /no seeds/ rule, likely because whoever uses the compost wants to control what they grow.
I make veg. broth by boiling veg. scraps for ~30—60 min., some of which are loaded with seeds. I’m wondering if the boiling kills the seed, in which case I wouldn’t likely cause problems by tossing the boiled scraps into the city’s compost.
I am surprised a city would have a rule against seeds. Their industrial composting should be good enough to kill seeds. That said, boiled seeds should be super dead.
I am curious- what veggie scraps you use that have seeds?
Bell peppers (“paprika” outside the N.America) and butternut squash (I toss the slimy sludge with seeds into the freezer scrap bag which then eventually goes into the veg stock).
