No, no and thrice no. The bulbils on the roots do not rot down easily. Burn or bin.

Agree absolutely not - unless you have a death wish or want to introduce all over you garden!

Any hints on how to dispose of white stonecrop? We don't use the council's garden rubbish disposal facility as we burn or compost everything else we want to get rid of, but this wretched weed is absolutely EVERYWHERE.

That would definitely go in our brown bin for the council to turn into compost!

Do you mean Sedum album? If so it should compost ok as long as the heap gets to a good temperature.

Wouldn't risk it in ours...

Why?

I know our compost does not get hot enough.

Only ask, because I throw almost every bit of every Sedum on our heap, as long as it is not in flower and they all rot away eventually.

We tend to bung to the municipal compost anything we would prefer not to see appearing in the garden...

Trouble with celandines is when you did them up they always seem to leave a bit behind...I glyphosated a patch of mine this year out of desperation. Pity because they are so glorious in the sunshine...
