I've cleared 200 baby pines from my terraces. There are between pinky-sized and wrist-sized. I can either pile and burn them or...
The lady at the nursery said a word that sounded like she was clearing her throat. She translated it to cow horns. Which didn't help me at all. But she said, yes, chop into 2' sections, pile up, and add other stuff as I can. It will take a while, but it will compost.
OK, first, if she wasn't yanking my chain about the throat-clearing cow horns word, I can do this. I'd rather compost -- and I have an area and I am patient. But I really don't have other things to add to the pile. Grass clippings stay on the yard. In the fall, pIne needles and fallen leaves are used as mulch on flower beds. There aren't any scraps because I have dogs. I don't drink coffee because I can't stand the smell/taste of it...
Can pine scraps and nothing but pine scraps ever make something useful?
