That's good advice, just to kill of all the grass seed.

I don't think that grass seed will rot down very quickly. 10 years?
Nettles 10 years? I don't know this as fact. But I read it in this group
that some seeds can lie dormant, even in a compost heap for decades.

Depends a lot on whether it's a hot heap or a cold one, IWHT. I've
measured well over 60 deg C in a hot 'dalek' and grass clippings reduced
to ash.
