compost after Iron HEDTA?

Hi folks,

I'm finally biting off the task of attempting to return my lawn to being a lawn, rather than a big patch of weeds. To this end, I'm planning to apply iron HEDTA as a broadleaf weed killer in the form of the brand name "Iron-X." I hope it does the trick.

My question is...after I have applied this, do I need to make sure that the hopefully-dead weeds don't make it into the compost, and from there, into my garden? Or will it be OK after a rain? Is there anything else I need to know?

[For the record, it would take a lot to send me down the "Don't use Iron-X" path...there are big patches of our "lawn" where I don't think there's any grass at all, and big sections with only perhaps half grass. I've spend the last few years trying to bring the weeds under control through other means, and this is the route I'm going this year.]

Thanks, all!
