just dump more compost material ontop of the whole mess. or perhaps,
next time, invite some more squirrels. also you will probably find
that even acorns several years old will sprout irregularly after
some number of years of delay

Is anyone else going crazy with this problem? All of
the hundreds of Oak acorns, if that's what they're
called, that made into my nice piles of aging oak
leaves, AKA compost pile, are sprouting like crazy. I've
spent hours sitting out there in the yard, hand sifting,
and trying to pull them out, and it's phenomenal. I mean
nature kinda went overboard on this one, IMHO. I mean,
how many Oak trees does one need? What is the point?
Something is wrong with this picture. I'm afraid I'm
going to just have to go through all the flower beds
where I carefully laid in a nice 6 inch layer of Oak
leaves, which are now rotting beautifully, crawling with
worms, and strip it out to get rid of these infernal
sprouting oaks. (!!)
Any ideas, oh brilliant ones?
