I'd be wary of putting it in your composter... maybe in yours it would die off sufficiently, but I always had a thick patch of it around my compost as those roots are really hard to rein in. OR, just dry this batch and make an herbal tea to give to someone else. :-) Fortunately (for me), I can get a start here so you don’t have to send me one, Janet. ;-) Perhaps you can just pot some, keep it away from the garden, and consider it aromatherapy?
