Mulberry/Cottonwood shoots for my compost bin?

9 years ago

Our mulberry and cottonwood tree roots are putting up shoots like crazy. I've cut down a bunch of them and I assume they would be good greens, but I wanted to make sure, plus I'm not sure I should add so many greens at once. Should I let some of them dry out and become browns?
