For the past few years I have been composting needles and small twigs from our Christmas tree. It recently dawned on me that I don't know what is in the preservative that I add the the water and weather it is wise to add to my compost. Any advice, suggestions, or alternative preservative recipes will be appreciated.

Thanks, David
