Half my backyard was covered in these nightmarish burr weeds because the house I bought was unoccupied for several years. I scraped the entire yard into a big compost pile and have seeded a new lawn from scratch.

Does anyone have any experience with compost that contains a large amount of weed seeds? I understand they can be dormant for years so I'm concerned about using the compost on a garden bed or to spread on the new lawn.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Sounds like a burrden.

    Do you have enough to hot compost?

    Burn the seeds. They are not worth composting
