I have just harvested a decent crop of new potatoes (Charlotte) from a couple of old plastic bags and now have a barrow load of used compost. I usually mix this up in the Spring from my homemade compost made last year, some sharp sand and soil (some gleaned from mole hills making a fine crumble). It's good crumbly stuff which I'd like to reuse next year, mixed up again with rich fresh compost (ie. back on the heap). But am I risking disease which could infect all my compost? My crop this year is perfectly healthy.
I recycle some of my soil beds from the greenhouse-ie back into the compost bin. If your crop is healthy I cannot see any risk worth worrying about
Best to grow a different crop in it (rotation) and you will have no problems.
Thanks for that.
