Default Disposing of twitch/couch grass

Speaking of which ...

I have a whole compost bin full of non-compostables, such as couch grass and
dandelions. What's the best way of disposing?

I think drowning has been suggested, which is ok for nettles, but I'm
concerned that the twitch, being as it is, won't rot properly in water and
will just grow again if allowed to.


Leave it out in the sun (!) to dry thoroughly then burn if you can,
else dump as Mike says.
