Can I compost this stuff, or will it be too fibrous?
We live in town, but I'm trying to garden the front yard and make things a bit more wild around here.
I'm picking up a two bin rolling composter from a friend tomorrow, curious if this can go in as browns?
So far I've just been using my plastic barrel planters. I layer green weeds on the bottom, top them with soil, and let it sit with the occasional watering. I toss scraps in there and pile more dirt over them to keep the dogs oblivious to their treasures. Usually I get surprise pumpkin plants growing from them.
Looking forward to actually having a compost I can attempt to work and learn.
So… should I keep this for the spinny bins, OR pile it up to the side of the yard for the lizards and bugs to live in? Hate to bin it.

You can compost this! It would beneficial to chop it up to help break it down quicker because of it’s dense, fibrous matter.
yes, you can compost these.
If you cut them smaller they compost better, if they are not done when you are using your compost sift them out and throw them back in the bin.
These are great for composting, but you can throw these in the yard if you feel like it and use cardboard in the compost instead.
I don’t understand your description of what you are doing with the planters?
No, this is a special species of plant that has never decomposed before in the history of mankind. Put this in your compost pile at your own peril
