    Landfills decompose by nature over time.

    We put some rotted cucumbers into one in MN once. But none of that heavy lifting, We had to drive up top and then get cleaned out after they dug a dock deep enough to drive on with bobcat.

    Ive seen entire potatoes cellars turned to rotten mush that you could smell for miles... Nit even kidding, several years back the potatoes prices were in the dirt and many farmers just held onto them hoping the price would come up... It did but by that time it was to late for most of that years crop.

    x1Heavy I get the natural compost part. But putrid, nasty, spore producing just nasty? That can't be good for the soil. And as far as landfills go, most of Manhattan and San Francisco are built on landfills..... So..... Go from there if you want.....

    Ive always felt that the nose knows in nature. If its really bad then it must be truly bad like this stuff.

    I am not a very good gardener we raised crops until we had a go with about a 1/4 acre to potatoes, the results were half and half where we were. (Too much nitrogen in soil we think)

    I used to go to Idaho to get potatoes russet in a reefer. It's a small operation, they essentially throw the spuds in the box until we hit 80000 and off we go with papers going east. Piles of potatoes everywhere. Just happy I don't have to peel them.

    There is one landfill down there in NYC thats epic, the fishkill. They barge the rest out of the city to other nations to process it.
