Do you have to mince up the kikuyu roots or can you just throw them in 
whole. I mention this as - I do a lot of weeding and pull out these
massive 
grass runners from the soil - which are so thick they resemble barbed
wire.

Do you also spray round up or some herbicide into the compost bin to kill 
them off?

Thanks!
