One month to one year can be the length of time to wait between applying weed-killer and composting cuttings. The wait depends upon exposure to light and residue in ecosystems. An article by horticulturalist Chris Starbuck for the University of Missouri Extension indicates that the wait may be as little as a week if the clippings remain in place in bright sunlight for a mowing and two re-mowings after the pesticide applications.
