Deeply Rooted
As usual the weeds are growing with abandon in my yard and garden. I pull hundreds of them from my lawn, most of which I throw in the chicken run. They love them.
My veggie garden has different weeds then the lawn. The biggest problem being chickweed. I methodically root them out, (which is a lot of work).
Apparently chickweed is not good for chickens, (if you can imagine that), and I don't want them coming back when I dig the compost back into the garden. My compost pile is running on the cool side, and I doubt hot enough yet to kill the roots/seeds.
I have been putting them, along with other weeds, in green garbage bags. I hope these will get hot enough to kill the seeds, and roots.
Has anybody used this method before, and did it work? How long do you leave them in the bags? Do you need to put them in a sunny area?
Thanks
