    Aslong as you use an activator in your new compost then your compost will be fine.

    If the vegitation around your grow area is nice and healthy then your plant should stay healthy but you could dig in a mug full of fish,blood and bone meal or wood ash from a bon fire into the soil surface but be carefull not to over do the ashes as it can turn the soil very acidic.

    What I do, is just put anything biodegradable all around my plants in the pot, it helps keep the moisture in and lets it grow like a beast.

    Here's some compost porn.
    It's been composting for about a year. Lovely and crumbly and sweet smelling. It's going to get added to the greenhouse for this years grow.

    coffee grinds (used) can be used directly as a soil conditioner much the same as tee leaves.
    ------------------------------------------
    Something else to avoid that i dont see in the main thread is connifer clippings or leaf material as it takes approx 7 years to rot! due to its waxy coating.

    Remember that compost heaps require 3 main ingredients

    1.heat
    2.moisture
    3.organic material

    Can you grow straight in compost? Or it has to be mixed with normal soil?
