A silly popular song of the 30's or 40's

made a little sinister when used in Twin Peaks a while ago.

Om the compost front, I have chucked any old weeds and stuff on a
heap, should I reticent about adding anything? I don't know,
couch grass roots or something?

I have no trouble with them. Ripe, durable weed seeds are a
nuisance, though.

Couch grass roots, bindweed roots, dandelion roots - best to make sure
they have dried out before adding them.

Dandelion roots - scrub them and dry them, then when you've emptied the
oven, dry them out in it, store, and when you have enough, lightly roast
them.

Roast pearl barley until it's golden, then grind the barley and
dandelion roots into powder.

Beats coffee hands down.
