Hi,

I have had two large conifers cut down (one was a Leylandi).
There is also a row of the very small leaf hedge which were next to
the trees. I have quire qn active compost bin and wondered if all
the fine "droppings" (which have accumulated over years) would
compost OK.
I have about 3 barrow loads and was going to gradually add them
over
the coming months.

Is this a good idea?

Yes: they take longer to break down, that's all.

as long as they only form 10% of the total it should be fine otherwise you
will have a nasty acidic compost
