GARDENER’S MAILBAG Dear Neil: The compost that we bought and spread on our garden from a local source several years ago seemed to promote all sorts of weeds. Can we use an herbicide on the garden now to get rid of the weeds before we take another load of compost for this year and rototill it in before spring planting? That’s a good plan for fall garden preparation, but in all honesty, it would have been better if you could have done it in October.
