Got it: nuke, strim, rake, cover!

I've got a full plot so I'll dial down my plans a little this season and cover half with weed matting and cardboard for next year, the other half I'll use the tarps I've already got to block out light until I have decided how to move it fowards this year.

Seperate but related question: Roundup seems to be like the napalm of weedkillers; if I spray it can I use the cuttings for compost, or would it be wiser to remove them completely?

I normally remove perennial roots then dig everything else in after week killing

Roundup is the most well-known brand name for glyphosate based weedkiller.  You can get others which are cheaper.

I don't add my weedkillered plants to my compost bin.
