If the soil in her compost bucket was from a good 'hot' compost it would be fine. Anyway who says perfection is the goal? try to relax a bit people geeez! This is just a simple easy little task she's doing. It's great because she makes it look easy which it is.

@davis1105 Well if you knew what composting does to weed seed, it would not be so odd to ya.

@emforty2 Please explain which seeds would be good in this world economic crisis. I dont want to buy worthless seeds

So, she's telling us she's going to put weed seeds in her compost pile??? And then use THAT to amend her new bed to avoid the very weeds she's just cleared? This is ridiculously bad advice and would cause unnecessary work for a new gardener, and could ruin a newbie's compost pile. .

Pour soil ammender - super soil- orange bag, on top and turn it in with spade. Water, Done. Wait till spring, add seeds..learn more by visiting your local library- ask the old ladies..

this are really wonderful tips.

Double digging is an unnecessary amount of labor. If you are starting a new ground bed, cover the soil with a thick layer of newspaper and/or cardboard, dump the compost on top. If you prep in the fall you can plant in the spring.
Also DO NOT add sand to clay soil, ever. Clay and sand make what? Bricks.
