Of that list I do not compost Couch Grass (twitch) as I have seen it
survive composting and ruin a heap by growing through it.
Bindweed can survive so I don't compost that either.


Beechgrove last night warned that you shouldn't put Japanese Knotweed in
the green bin as it's illegal though this might just apply to Scotland.
You have only one recourse, kill it, let it dry and burn it.

Janet, how do you kill it? If it was easy, or even difficult, there would
not be such a commotion about it. From what I have read it cannot be
erradicated. Touch wood and fingers crossed there are no instances of it in
our neck of the woods.
Beechgrove is THE best gardening tv. programme IMO. I love it. The
presenters aren't chosen for their looks, celebrity status or the crud, but
are genuine enthusiasts, well thats what I think. Just wish they would
branch out and have seperate proggies for vegetables and flowers/bulbs.

Good luck
