Suckers in compost

[gunrunner]

I have a few suckers that are just beginning to root. Was wondering if I can transplant them in compost before putting them in the ground? Would it be too strong for them?

Thanks
Mike

It depends what the compost is made off. Too much manure, eg, can be too strong. But most compost piles are low in N and lots of volunteers grow in them. JMO

Mike my compost pile is about the same thing and I pee in it also.
((I dont see wasting good water to flush the toilet when I have a compost pile that needs nitrogen.))

Plants do great in it.
You should be just fine.

If the grass clippings are fully composted (Not hot anymore) it should be fine.
You can also mix in a little garden soil. That can even improve moisture retention.
