Kitchen Compost

Is it ok to add my pompas grass spring prunings to my garden compost pile,other then them being very sharp?

Chop your Pampass Grass prunings up small, or shred them (even better) then mix them in with the compost and they will rot down in no time. I added un-chopped debris a couple of years ago and I still find the odd un-rotted lump! Good luck

   Everything that once was living rots. Aside from pampas grass leaves being sharp, there's no reason not to add them to your compost pile. To speed things up, add a nitrogen source as well (such as manure).
