Hello - Today I discovered sprouts covering the entire surface of my compost pile, the roots going all go all the way to the bottom, forming a mesh throughout the pile. The roots hold onto the soil very well. I am pretty sure that these are either corn or barley sprouts, the result of my throwing old popcorn and barley seeds in my compost about a month ago. I guess I thought these seeds were dead (which was really dumb because I had bought the barley seeds to sprout them, albeit something over 1/2 year ago). I have two questions: 1) Are these corn or barley sprouts? Or maybe something else? 2) Other than throwing the compost in the green bin, can I rescue this pile, perhaps leaving it in the sun to "bake"? I am thinking of how rye grass can be turned under and can actually improve soil. Thanks as always.
