    Burned or otherwise disposed. they say the heat in a compost heap kills the weeds, seeds etc but i reckon many remain and must remain around the edges where there is little heat and the stuff only partially decomposes.

    What happens to all the weeds included in the garden waste now collected by the councils? Is everything shredded and left to break down properly or is it treated in some way to kill the weeds?
