When I pull weeds out of my garden and flower beds I toss them in to my
compost bin. My neighbor said that I shouldn't do that because it will
cause more weeds when I spread the compost due to the weed seeds in the
compost. Is he right?

Thanks,

If anything is going to germinate it will do so right there in your compost
pile - and since compost piles need to be occassionally turned you can just
bury the new growth when you turn it. If you are really composting the
pile should be cooking - very warm (close to hot) to your hand when you
reach down in it. If not, add some lawn fertilizer (high nitrogen) , soil
and wet it next time you turn it By the time it becomes useable "compost"
there should be no live plant growth left.
