Composting weeds in small and large heaps

Making compost is quick and simple when you have any kind of enclosure, and enough ingredients. Anything that has grown will decompose.

Adding weeds means less time spent sorting 'good and bad'. Plus it gives more compost in the end. I share understandings about how weeds can 'disappear' in a compost heap.
