Default Leylandii Shreddings

I am taking a specimen Leylandii down and most of it is going through the

Question. Will it harm the compost to mix large quantities in? I so what
proportion of mix would anyone recommend?


I am not certain, but I would think that the acidity of the shreddings
might cause problems. It might be better to make sure that it is well
"diluted" with non-coniferous material and perhaps add a little lime as
well.
