My landlord did some landscaping this weekend and dumped the results on top of my "to be sifted compost". I dug out my compost and sifted it. Now my question is...what do I do with the live weeds and crabgrass complete with soil that he has added to my compost pile.

Do I have to wait until he goes home and then dig it all out of the pile and put it in the dumpster. Or if I turn my pile frequently can I get the weeds, sod, and crabgrass to die?

Help please.

Thanks longy. He must have edged something that hadn't been edged in a long while because I have long strips of sod with weeds and crabgrass along with the regular grass. And I knew my compost pile hadn't done that over night.

When I talked to him today he was so proud of his contribution to the compost pile I couldn't disillusion him so I thought I would ask here if that stuff would be ok.
