This year seems to be worse than last, growing annuals from seed I am
constantly trying to weed within a couple of centimetres from plants
without
pulling plants up as well.
I am not certain but suspect that this is partial result of local
authority
recycling with insufficient heat and time given to the rotting
process.
anyone else more authoritative on this subject?

I agree - it is very likely that the compost makers are not properly
rotting down the material. And since they take what is dumped, it will
also contain noxious weeds so a longer period of rotting down and
maintenance of heat is needed.


Time is money!
