#compost

I was trying to figure out what to do with the nasty weeds (Ground Elder and Bind weed). I didn't fancy burning, and regular composting is liable to just spread the stuff wider. Someone mentioned liquid composting, i.e. rot the stuff and use the liquid as a fertiliser.

I'm trying it.

The nasty weeds along with other green garden waste (including some grass clippings) go into a water butt. Water gets added. Things rot down. The liquid fertiliser can get drawn off via the water butt tap. At some point I'll need to empty the solid stuff. I'm hoping that if left long enough (how long?) that'll be an okay addition to the regular compost.
