Default Composting Question

no prob, but why waste time and electricity grinding the shells?

Hi, I've gotten into composting and I like to get everything in
there. During XMas we had tonnes of nuts and I have gone to the
trouble of using an old blender to take the shells of the nuts and get
them down to a smaller consistency. I just wonder if my enthusiasm
got the better of me and is this wise? I've ground hazelnuts, pecan,
walnut. Now I've read in this group that walnut trees can affect
other plants, but what about the shells? Will I have to toss my
compost?

Thanks in advance for any help.
