Hi All ;
I find that whole cobs are slow to break down in the composter - so I
have been cutting them into ~ 5 pieces with a big knife - it helps
a bit - but I'm wondering if there is a better way - both in terms
of composter efficiency and to ease the chore a bit.
my wife puts up several dozen in the freezer plus what we enjoy at
the table I wondered if a big old heavy duty meat grinder would
handle them ? Would an old food processor stand up to the job ?
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Maybe a chipper like they use for small branches/etc ? Band saw or a
miter saw ? Clamp a tube big enough to pass the cobs to your chop saw ,
holds the pieces without having your fingers too close to the blade .
Might have to figger out a way to keep them from spinning though .

Thanks for thr reply - if I had more use for a chipper/shredder
machine - that would work fine. The new/good ones are hundreds of
dollars, and the cheap used ones are junk.
I can't see myself putting a bushel of corn cobs through my shop
tools - just imagine the wet messy clean-up afterwards !
