Re: [Native Gardening] Digest Number 1584

 

I've heard it's best not to compost weeds or any other self-sowing vegetation you don't want growing in your garden. They can resow themselves if you do.

vinca question

Probably I should have asked this question earlier, but . . .

As I am trying to subdue the vinca-gone-viral in my rock garden by pulling it up, is it safe to compost it? Or have I just made myself a big compost bin full of happy, healthy, vinca?

I compost everything. If I see something unwanted growing in the pile I
just chop it up with a shovel and turn it over into the pile again.

Yeah...I've totally dumped all kinds of stuff into my compost pile.
Including English Ivy...nothing has ever just taken over my compost pile.
Things grow in there occassionally...but I break 'em up and/or turn the
pile.

FTR-the ivy i ended up removing because the stalks were too woody. I was a
newbie...and my area is still infested with ivy which i'm constantly
pulling out. Although now I black bag it and just throw it away.
Unfortunately.
