Well spotted and it’s my normal compost, from last summer.
Yes there are pleasingly few weed seeds: my summer heaps in enclosed bins are often 60C, and Homeacres has few seeding weeds. More seeding flowers than weeds.
Quality has been helped by the roof, previously I had more moisture and the compost was too soggy.
This batch is crumbly and free draining, I sieved it through chicken wire so there are still lumps of about a half inch (12mm).
