I've already made the mistake of putting tons of weeds in my compost and now I am paying for it.
A good part of the reason I started the pile to begin with was to keep organic stuff out of the waste stream. I have two rabbits and I just couldn't bear seeing one more trashbag filled with their waste go off to our already at capacity landfill. So I started composting their waste and litter and it just grew from there. I figured even if I never used it, it was better off decomping in my yard than at the dump. Now 4 yrs later I have some amazing (albeit weed laden) bunny poo compost :)
So what do I do with all of the weeds, diseased plants, spiky things etc that can't go into the pile?
I have a small suburban yard and probably couldn't get away with burning it.
Should I send it as yard waste to the dump where they have a few huge and I am assuming very hot piles or would that just spread weeds and disease to the people who use it? or would the heat kill the bugaboos off?
any insight would be appreciated.
