Hi all,

I've got a beautiful 2-y-o "compost" pile which yielded lots of bait
worms last year... but when I took some of this dirt to start seeds
in, all I grew were weeds.

It seems I've heard at one time or other you can bake dirt - - in a
pan, in the oven - - to kill weed seeds. Any truth to this?

BTW the reason I enclosed "compost" in quotes is I've never added any
manure, nothing to help it cook other than coffee grounds. Not sure
if this qualifies as compost or not, but it sure is rich looking.
