weeds, I guess, could be thrown onto the fire as well, and then onto the

You have a compost heap for your weeds. One you turn twice a year, and
empty of quality soil, and one you cover up for the winter, with more
weeds; or with grass clippings, or hay, or whatever, in a way that water
doesn't seep into it, but runs off it.
