How to kill off any seeds in home-made compost?
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to kill off any seeds dispersed
within home-made compost? I have a large compost heap made from weeds and long grass, among other things, and probably contains a lot of unwanted seeds. The large heap is now about three months old and has been turned twice. Perhaps some of the weed seeds have now been destroyed due to the heat generated within the heap, but past experience causes me to suspect that many will not have been killed. I plan to use the compost to create a new lawn, using grass seed, in an area where the soil is very poor. Last time I did this, the weed seeds within the compost were prolific and started to sprout after the compost was spread on the ground. Thanks.. Al |
