Question for Southwestern Composters

[desertgirl]

I know we have kind of acidoc soil...how about composting citrus? Can it be a problem?

In answer to my own question....

turns out here in NM we have the opposite problem-our soil is actually alkaline (someone lied to me!). So into the compost the limes and oranges go!!!

That sounds like a good idea. You may want to chop up the pieces so the decompose a little faster depending on the activity in your compost pile.

Also depending on where you live in Albuquerque check your local garden center. I would recommend Osuna Nursery, Alameda Greenhouse and Rehm's. They are all very nice and knowledable people!
