We recently had an ammount of cooked green veg, cabbage etc

is right? To my mind whilst the texture may have changed and a
few additives like salt included basically raw & cooked are the
same!

It is only a problem if there is fat or meat in it since you don't want
rats or foxes digging in your compost heap. Cooked vegetables are fine.

I won't put raw onion waste on mine for fear of introducing white rot or
raw brassicas for introducing club root.
