Yes to both unless plants are diseased - even then your heap will kill disease if it gets hot enough.

go by the maxim ,if its green and soft compost it  just make sure the heap gets real warm by covering it with a bit tarp or old carpet .... they dont get hot if it rains on them  :wink:

Cabbage and cauli stalks can be a bit woody so just bash and chop em with your spade,then bosh em on the compost they will be fine. :lol:

BUT mind your toes. :lol:
