Composting twigs and sticks
 

Is there any way I can accelerate the composting of relatively dry
twigs and sticks up to 10mm thick? Some of them are grape/glory vines.

Would soaking them in water for a week or two beforehand help?

I have no problem at all in composting green material. I use large
Gedye bins, if that's relevant, which it probably isn't.

g'day andrew,

unless you can get them through a chipper i can't see much else
working, i bury mine under the mulch around my fruit trees, or lay
them on top of the news paper as the first layer when i am making a
new garden bed.
