What do you do with your weeds?
I just dug up an entire large recycling bin full of weeds and grass that was creeping into my landscaped area. I'm not sure if I should compost them, dispose of them in the garbage, or what else to do with them. We can't burn in our subdivision, so that's not an option. Any suggestions?
Re: What do you do with your weeds?
My parents live in the country, and they burn everything.
I will have to look into this and see if my county does this too! Thanks!
If they don't have seeds or seed pods, I compost.
otherwise they go into the yard waste pickup like alliapistor.
They compost. I usually let them lie right where I pluck them. As kastle said, it's critical to do this before they can form seeds.
If I am weeding somewhere as they are blooming, I try not to let the seeds or pollen get away, they go to the trash. I even freak out a little when people let their weeds get real tall, flower, and THEN they decide it's time to mow them down! I just think about how effectively they are shooting the weed seeds out the side of the damn mower (my neighbors on both sides... I need to build brick walls).
If they have not gone to seed, I compost them.
If they have seeds on them, I put them in a lawn and leaf bag and set them on the curb. I hope the city does something eco-friendly with them, but if they don't, they are at least out of my yard.
Basically this! We have a hedgerow in the back yarn and all my weeds/leaves/fallen branches etc get tossed in.
