I don't know a lot, but I do know that it is undesirable to put weeds
like couch grass into a compost bin, as they will survive and grow when
the compost is spread.
I have read here that they can be "drowned" and then composted, how long
do they need to be submersed? Also if they are young freshly seeded, as
opposed to root spread is it safe to compost them then?
TIA

The drowning principle is I think down to Bob Flowerdew and I am trying it
this season I have half filled an old plastic dustbin with water and am
gradually adding the nasty weeds. It is my intention to leave them until
they are visibly rotten before upending it all into the compost.
