I'm taking up a bit of turf in the garden - can I just throw it in the compost bin?

I don't see why not, so long as you place it upside down.
What most people do is place it upside down in clumps(sods)in a corner of your garden and forget about it for a year, it will turn into lovely loam.

I placed mine in my raised beds on my allotment,these are now my seed beds.

Now theres an idea - i'm filling my raised beds later today - could I just throw the turf
s o d s (I love the way it blanked that out in my original post) on the bottom and cover with compost?

I did what boosh says about a year ago...but also covered with black plastic.

What could I now use the loam for???
