Composting

I have treated my lawn with moss/weedkiller and am due to scarify it. Can I compost the scarified material or would it do harm to the compost and in the future, to the flowers/veg that the compost would be used on?

    You need to read the pack, which should tell you if it's safe to compost. Mosskiller Is usually OK if it has 6 months or more  in the compost heap, but if there is weedkiller present, you may need to avoid composting the thatch.
