Cutting compost is a term used for compost that is specifically formulated for rooting cuttings. Usually it consists of 1 part loam, 2 parts peat, and 1 part sand OR a 50:50 mix of multi-purpose compost and perlite.

How you store it really depends on how much room you have. Ideally, you want an out of the way spot in the yard to put the finished compost where you then cover the pile with some plastic to keep it protected. Storing like this keeps the microbes and beneficial critters happy and healthy in the compost.

If this is not possible, then a plastic container or trash bag will work. Make sure to add some water every few months to keep it moist. The moisture is what help keep it looking nice.

As long as the hedge has been healhy, with no signs of disease or pests, then the cuttings from it can certainly be added to the compost heap.
