[Zombies] Could we mass compost live zombies as a tactic?

Say I dig a massive hole in the ground and cover with veggies, food scraps all that stuff then lure zombies in and when they are packed tight put another layer on top. would the heat from the composting be enough to eventually destroy their brains and break down their bodies?

Given the slow rate of decay that many zombie scenarios show - once the initial post-death phase has passed - with Zs still being around and looking much the same years later, it is often suggested that the Zombie pathogen actually inhibits further decay once it takes over the corpse.

Composting clearly depends on a continuing decay of the material, and it is the decay that generates the heat, so in these cases, it would depend on whether the decay inhibition would spread to the surrounding material and stop it from decaying, and whether one could pack enough decaying material around a significnat number of Zs - and keep it there for long enough, without the Zs getting back out - to do the job.

Overall, even if it would work, it seems like an awful lot of hard work to a) dig the hole b) gather enough suitable material c) get everything in place (and keep it all there) for the possible end result.
