I collected a few batches of mulched lawn trimmings that I scraped from under my lawn mower deck. I put the material in a plastic container with a lid. I left the material through one winter. When I opened the container, it had a very rank odor. I turned the container on it's side and left the lid off so it would, possibly, dry out. It dried out a little, but it still smells rank. I'm sure the material contains ground insects, ect. Is it possible that the material could be harboring E. Coli? I only plan on using it on tomatoes, on top of the soil. Can E. Coli travel though a tomato plants vascular system? I was wondering if I might be endangering my health.
