Why could weeds no longer spread from one farmers land to another?
Barriers, bulldozers, controls, fires, mulches and row covers appear among the reasons why weeds do not spread from one farmer's land to another's. Weeds can grow by such reproductive means as rhizomes, roots, seeds and stolons. Bulldozing and fire control root and root-like expansions whereas barriers, non-organic and organic mulches, organic and synthetic treatments and row covers obstruct dispersal of seeds by weather, wildlife and wind.

Can you put weeds in a compost bin?
No, diseased, live and treated weeds should not go in a compost bin even though yes, dead weeds can. Weeds that suffer from disease or treatment with herbicides or that still support living parts do not belong in the bin since infections may spread, synthetic materials may pollute compostable materials and viable plants may self-propagate. Dead weeds contrastingly will be compostable if previously "fried" atop exposed metal or within dark, sealed plastic bags.
