I'm not doing this for a homestead, but rather a small rural farm in North Carolina. It's the same general principle however. I am looking at building several compost bins for my farm. It should take me a day or so to build them, but I've never had experience composting anything. I know that my food scraps, leaves, table waste, animal manure will make great compost. Should I also use twigs and other small items thrown into a chip-shredder as compost, and if so how long would it take for shredded yard waste to decompose?
If it takes to much longer then the table scraps, I will keep them separated.
