Rabbit straw on compost heap

[JoJoB]

We have been putting the contents of our rabbit hutch onto the compost heap. Obviously has quite a lot of straw in it and was wondering how long it might take for t to be ok to apply to veg beds etc.

Morning JoJoB, as long as the sraw has started to break down and mixes easily with the other compost it will be fine.
What length of time is a job to say, as open heaps or compost bins all take different times to rot, as does what goes into the compost heap.
But a very rough guide, i would leave it six months in the Winter and maybe as short as three months in theSummer.

I was wondering whether to do this, but I only have a smallish "dalek" composter & decided against it as it would fill it too quickly. I do put the "toilet corner" contents into the composter sometimes. Is this Ok?

Dear Lucysmum, as long a you mix it up with other stuff it'll be fine.
