Clipping brambles...

We're nearly over-run with brambles in the hedge next to 'Plot Growster', and while the blackberries are enormous this year, I'm regularly giving them a few severe clops to tell them who's in charge.

Can I assume that these clippings are compostable? They usually spread by self-layering, but there's an awful lot of bits in the compost bin at the moment, and I'm definitely not climbing in to sort them out... I mean, I was wearing shorts down there this morning - can't let the side down (or the end for that matter...);0)

I supose if they were shredded theyd compost ok
