I cut them in half…making two smaller cobs. I bet though that if you split them longways they would decompose even faster.

Question? You cut them – which way? Long or across? We eat a lot of fresh corn and I roast and freeze the kernels for off season use. I’ve also been trying to talk DH into putting them through his mulcher. If I win that one, I want to dry it and use it for bedding.

Just make sure you rinse off the corn cobs if you put salt on them when you eat them. If I don’t feed mine to rabbits they go into my worm inn. I cut them in half, and that seems to really speed up the decomposition.

Really?!! I’d have never ever thought about putting corn cobs in. But I’m just now learning about the Inn. I just started mine, and I’m impressed so far, and can’t wait to see how it does over time.

My bulky stuff is corn cobs when it’s the season. But my regular size worm inn handles it no problem. Had a dozen cobs going through. Takes about three passes, but it goes in the end. The worms actually hollow on the center and live inside, it’s cute heh.
