i wouldnt compost conifer clippings,any how i dont think they decompose very
well
We had a load of shreddded/chipped conifer a few years a go.
Some was used fresh for the paths around the veg beds. The rest was
stacked in an impromptu bin in the corner of the garden and left alone.
A couple of years later it had composted down lovely - still pretty
coarse of course, but made a lovely mulch for round the fruit trees and
other places.
