Do you compost Sugar Snap Pea Vines?

[Tontodollydog]

Hi just wonder if it's ok to compost sugar snap pea vines? Thanks

Yes, they add potash to the heap. Compost everything except dock, dandelion, couch grass, bindweed and nettle roots.

As long as there is no sign of disease. Peas and beans are very good for that kind of thing and good at adding things to the soil whilst growing.

Totally agree with above, but was wondering what was making you hesitate before composting? Presumably by "vines" you just mean the stems.

If you chop them up a bit using a spade I find it helps them to break down quicker.

Yes, do the chop them up - having just tried to turn the heap with a 2m long tangle of beans!
