The backbone of our compost system is weeds. DECADES of weeds. We don't worry about seeds as weeds are e erywhere already. So, we weed, then leave the bodies of the fallen i. tbe dun to bake so the roots are killed. Then it all goes to the compost heaps. If it were not for Glechoma hederacea, we might not even have several piles going at once!
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
