How to compost fir buds

Question

I have wheelbarrow loads of fir buds in May and June. The only other compost ingredient I have in significant quantity is lawn clippings. No manure. What should I do with the fir buds? Compost? Mulch? Amendment? Garbage?

Answer 1

Without more and varied components it will be hard to produce real compost. The fir buds and grass clippings mixed and piled will break down in time, but if I were you I would use them as mulch.
