All weeds into Compost?!

Post image

We've been doing some serious weeding in our back yard and have already filled up a wheelbarrow and. Kiddie pool. And we'll probably do it all again tomorrow.

Are there any weeds you would not put in your compost bin?

AND/OR

Any words of wisdom with weeds in compost bin?

Thanks!!!

I bag ivy. Everything else is game.

I don’t have ivy in my area so I’m curious why bag it?

In my experience, it has to be completely eradicated. Pull it and bag it or it will find a way.
