Yes, you can compost pine shavings, but it's important to do so in moderation. Pine shavings are carbon-rich (browns) and can help balance nitrogen-rich materials (greens) in your compost pile. However, they can be acidic and may take longer to break down, so it’s best to mix them with other compostable materials to ensure a healthy composting process. Avoid using large quantities, as excessive amounts may hinder microbial activity.
