Default composting

"Eigenvector" expounded:

I compost my grass to roll into my garden. I've been wondering though, am I
screwing myself by doing that? I say that because my back 40 has quite a
bit of dandilions in it, plus I also use the compost pile for any of the
weeds I pull out of the planters and landscape islands. I'm wondering if
those dandilions are getting put right back into the garden the next year
when I put the compost into the dirt.

Unless you're hot composting then yes, you are bringing seeds into
your garden. A little stirring and hoeing should take care of them,
though!
