I let my compost pile get out of control over summer in Florida. These are some very rooted freakin weeds. What’s the easiest way to get her all cleaned up?
I can’t help but just wanted to say that I’m integrating ‘fricked up’ into my vocab. This almost feels like that German word for beds that are made with logs.

Hit it with the weekwacker and then mix it all up.

A lit match might get rid of some of that grass, then mixing and soaking it.

Pull them up, dig if needed. Before putting it back, consider digging into the soil and putting down some cardboard or wood.

Turn the turf upside-down add some cardboard over it and some more dirt and it’ll be fine (don’t forget to piss on it)

In Florida, with that heat, you could whack the stuff spilling out, put on top, bungee a dark tarp round the whole thing and let bake for 3-4 weeks. Everything in there will die (except seeds, maybe). When done, resume normal use.

If it’s gone to seed, you might want to weed whack and rake it off to remove as many of the seeds as you can. In any case, turn it over and cut all those roots. They’ll decompose in there once they’re dead.

Let it dry out, and toss a dark tarp over it so it heats up heavily.

* Flip it over
* get some (a lot of) spent coffee grounds spread it over the pile
* get some untreated sawdust and do the same
* get a compost thermometer and monitor the heat

The simple answer is to just keep piling on.

Cover it with a tarp. Heat and dark will kill that grass pretty quick. I got Bermuda in one on my garden beds and scorched earth it is.
