Back, more than 50 years ago, when we lived on a farm we used ground
corn cobs as mulch around tomato plants. They helped retain moisture
and did eventually decompose.

If you have a chipper shredder think that would work about the same as
the old feed grinders we used way back when.

Can corn cobbs be composted?

Do they disintegrate as rapidly as other, less "hard" plant materials?

Does it make any difference if the cobbs are cut into smaller pieces?
