Pfft, you say it would do good, but my poor composted bean patch is
overgrown with potato plants and pumpkin plants now!!


Well you have not composted long enough. A good compost left long enough
would not grow potatoes. Don't know about pumpkin seeds but should be inert
I would have thought after a year or 2.
Don't be lazy, get the hoe out. Once or twice should do it and you have to
hoe anyway?
