3 feet long weed problem.

My neighbour has just been away for 6 weeksand returned to an awful problem, asking me ( of all people) for advice. I told him I'd ask you guys.
His back garden has gone wild ( see photo) and he's now cutting it down with a sickle ( long job). He asks it he can either pile it up in a corner, or store it in compost bins so it will rot down eventually and be useful in a year or so.

OK to compost in bins but if green then it needs to be mixed with drier material and reach a reasonable heat to kill weed seeds. Garotta, a little sulphate of ammonia or urine will help.

He can't store it in compost bins on its own, as Jimmytheone says - it'll go into a soggy, smelly mess if he does. If he hasn't enough other material to layer so that the layers of grass are thin in between, best bagged and binned.
