I collected the third and final load of cotton burrs for my compost heap this afternoon. It's all I can do for 2018?

It's about 8 feet in diameter and 4 feet tall.

Is that waste bailed?

No. It's dropped on the ground by the harvest equipment. I just collect a tiny amount and use it in the really Rocky part of an old abused garden plot.
Do you leave them dry or wet to decompose?
Big arguments can happen down here on this issue as to whether the process should be "started" with a good urination on the pile - best done in warmer months though.
