You can bag them up with fresh chicken manure and they'll compost (I tried it, just to see what happens), but I wouldn't try to compost them with anything less savagely strong than chook shite.

Thanks. I was led to that conclusion with research after I'd posted.
Some say compost it, but that would need to be into a prospering hot heap maintained for the long term, and I'm only just starting mine.

It will compost if kept in the dark... double wrapped in compost bags but takes over 18months. Worth the wait though as it contains lots of nutrients. :wave:

We leave couch grass and bindweed to dry out in the sun before either goes anywhere near a compost heap. No green collection here so no choice about keeping them.
