Default Destroying dug up weeds+ seeds

I guess another idea, taken from Andrew, would be to use a black trash bin
(one of those 2 feet in height for easy sake) and line it with a black
plastic bag. Place the weeds inside then tight up the plastic bag. Adding

a
cup of water would also help too I guess. Then leave the bin with lid

closed
in the sun. That should kill everything I think.



You just reminded me.
I have a feeling it was here, but I may be wrong, perhaps it was on TV.
But I recall reading about something like a weed soup or similar.
All the weeds get placed into a bin/container, then covered with water. Not
sure how long it took, but you could drain the water off (not getting any
seeds or weeds in it), and use it as a fertliser, from the nutrients that
came out of the weeds.
Well just another possibility worth looking into.
I'm guessing the leftover "slop" would still have some viable seeds in it
though. Some may rot too.
