Composting Acorns

Question

Are (oak tree) acorns okay to compost? I’m concerned about the tannic acid content of the acorns. If acorns are okay, is there a limit or ratio of acorns that is too high? And if compost has a sizable acorn content, is there any usage that this compost would not be advisable for?

Answer 1

You can compost them. As long as you have the "green" material in the compost to balance them (they would be a brown material), you cannot have too many.
