♻️ Ever wondered if your compost pile is killing weed seeds—or just giving them a warm nap?

In this episode of White Strawberries, I dive into my very first proper hot composting adventure. Spoiler: it involves bamboo stakes, cow poo tea, temperature obsessions, and a whole lot of bindweed I didn’t trust in a cold pile.

🌱 We’ll explore:
• Why not all weed seeds die in regular compost
• How to build a hot compost heap step by step—no fancy bins required
• What materials (and simple amendments) boost your compost and your veggies
• The connection between compost, BRIX testing, and truly nutrient-dense food

Plus: tips I wish I’d known at the start—like why summer might be the worst time to start, and how to check if your compost really did the job.
