Isn't it contained/covered in any way? If I didn't contain and cover
mine they would be so cool they'd take years to become usable compost.
Rain and wind are both cooling. Light encourages weeds to grow.

Light, in general, encourages plants to grow. :-P

The weed pile that I am talking about isn't covered, as the lid vanished one day
during the strong winds, but it's in a green dalek. I didn't say I was surprised
it was growing buttercups, just stating that it was. It'll probably be growing
potatoes under the buttercups
