Any reason why one shouldn't add the wood chips after cutting
forewood with a chainsaw to their compost pile? Chips would be
mostly Pine.

will be acid, and will contribute decent amounts of P and K. Because
they decay over two years, depending on size, they are better suited
as mulch for perennials.


Also, since I read where the smaller the scraps for composting the
better, seems it wouldn't hurt to pull the plants in the fall and
run over them with a lawn mower first. Thoughts? TIA

That is what I do, with zucchini, tomatoes, and various brassicas. But
I leave them there in the lawn, to prevent disease spread, and in the
spring I use the first grass mowing for mulch or compost.
