my riding tractor broke down this year, so my grass got really high. lots of weeds,and weed seeds.if i add it to my compost, will the compost cook and kill the seeds? ive always added my grass clippings in my compost, but its never gotten this high before shocked

If you turn your compost to keep it hot, I think it will kill the weed seeds, but if you just leave it to rot slowly, I don't think it will. Weezie would know for sure.

May destroy some, but definitely not all. If it were me I wouldn't add it.
