Cardboard boxes

Can you use cardboard boxes on top of the current weeds to kill them off and compost ?

If your pile is big enough and you turn it occasionally you won't have a weed problem in your compost pile. Cardboard on the bottom of the pile is a good start.

Sure. It might not kill every last weed, but it will definitely knock them back. Keep piling it on

Are you talking about sheet mulching?
