    In a big ass pile with a bunch of other compostables, sure!

  2. I don’t think you should compost the girl, the wall, or the tools

    the branches will compost only slowly.

    but otherwise all this would eventually rot away yes

    Wait, what is that? Is it Sumac? If so, noooooooo composty, it is a scourge (allelopathic as as all get out)

    Pretty new here but as long as you process it into smaller pieces it should compost fine! (It would compost in its current state with added browns but the larger chunks of starting material are gonna break down much slower) cut it up, mix some more browns and start peeing!

    In my experience, composting actual branches and sticks will take a long time. If you aren’t in a hurry and just want to throw that in a pile that will eventually break down, I think you are fine.

    But if you have a home compost bin and are trying to get compost in a reasonable amount of time, I would probably not use those branches.

    It would be best if you could shred these. At least get your loppers and cut them down to several itches, long or shorter as possible.
