We are taking over an allotment plot soon that has been fallow for a
year.
Which weeds can be added to the compost heap and which must be excluded?
TIA
Paul.

Provided you build a proper compost pile with the right mix of stuff
especially grass cuttings and horse manure if you can get it from
stables/livery yards etc then the compost pile will get hot enough to
destroy any weeds /seeds

Best bet is to use pallets to make at least 2 bins
layer in grass cuttings , shredded prunings ,weeds,carboard,horse
manure,shredded paper ,veg peelings etc and then pour on a few buckets of
"night water " cover with a layer of cardboard a layer of plastic and a
peice of old carpet plus another pallet for the top .........in 3 months
turn the lot into the empty bin , turn again in another 3 months

cover and leave for 9 months and you should have wonderful compost
