My Yarrow And Daisy Compost Seemed To Go To Seed. Now I Have Yarrow And Daisies Growing My Fruit And Vegetable Gardens.

Question

I composted yarrow and daisies and left them for a number of years to decompose. This year I spread the compost on my vegetables and strawberries. Now these gardens are filled with yarrow and daisies. How do I prevent seeds from germinating after the plants have decomposed.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, this can mean that the pile does not get hot enough. If you cannot get the pile hot enough, than you may need to use another method for composting invasive species.
