unwanted alliums - OK to compost?
Hi All
our garden has very many 'uninvited' alliums - almost rampant with them. I don't know the actual species, they have very green fleshy stems with snowdrop-like white flowers. They are starting to grow into the lawn now and if we don't get a grip I think they will take over... Luckily they are easily either pulled up (bulbs and all, if the ground is wet), or the above-ground growth hoed and then collected. I've therefore ended up with a decent pile of green material from these plants. I run a few compost bins and I'd like to compost this stuff - if nothing else to keep all the goodness that these blighters have taken out of the soil! But I'm concerned that I might end up spreading uncomposted bulbs around the rest of the garden when I spread the compost around in future years. Is this a real risk, and is there anything in particular I can do to avoid the risk? Other suggestions for ridding the garden of these blighters very welcome... Cheers Jon N |
