Are these "fruits n shit" already composted?

uhh now probably!
i juss threw in a bunch of fruits into a bucket n mixed it with dirt...

sooooooooo???
will the organic sweets from the fruits help my grows or burn the plant??

maybe u can grow some fruit, but this sounds like an invintation for bugs, what wrong with poo anyhow (cheaper than fruit too)

yep man-with fruits you have to wait a lot longer, because it has to saty some time in the compost pile so diffrent microbes can do their work and preapeare that for a good compost that eventuall ends up being a damn good organic fertilizer.
but shit is also a good organic fert.just mix whit some water, let it stay for 24/h and then you can water your plants with some good juicy organic mix, and Youl plants would love it.
keep up the good work....

thanks!
well, i picked fruit cuz i have an abundance of tossed fruits!!
im talkin 1 trashcan a day of pineapples grapes n all kinds of stuff!
i do use shit, but i want to see what fruits do because it has sweetness n if molasses works so well, i want to see what else can bump up sugars..

hey is pig shit good??
my relative told me not too much or the plants will die?

yea pig shits great i'd do 10-20 percent pig shit to ur soil mix

oh solid!!
haha

yeah you can you fruit, the mors the better! fruit has oils and other great goodies that your plant will love, you just use 10% fruit in your compost and throw in alot of worms! mmm worms...does a plant good, but back to the fruit, you need to let it completely compost, no fruit chunks in your soil while you grow or you will have bugs, alll sorta of bugs small bugs, big bug, bugs that eat you plants! think of you soil as an ocean, the smaller the bait the smaller the fish, you want a soil that cant feed bugs or host them, you want bacteria and fungi only, mabey some other symbiotic plants or something but dont just throw huge chunks of fruit in you compost, spend the time to chop it up! you should throw the fruit and worms in the first stage and then adjust for ph after a few months or even six months, set up multiple compost piles so you always have frest soil ready to go and it will change or vary over time, compost is not an exact science its just great randomness that decomps in to goodness for you ladies. Keep it up dude.

be sure to cook(leave it to do its thing) the compost at least most the way...if you still see peels, it aint done...cooked nutes beat all! I have a theory that the terpenes in your fruit and citrus peels directly effect the flavor of the weed- but fresh peels are too acidic, and the compounds aren't in a usable form.
