Do not add too much citrus peel to the compost
Winter is a time for oranges and tangerines. However, it is not a good idea to add too much peel to the compost. Peel hardly decomposes in winter, it quickly goes rotten and makes the compost too wet. Also, the peel is often treated with chemicals. If large quantities of this are composted, the remaining compounds may accumulate in the finished compost and end up on the beds when used as a mulch. This should be avoided.
