When I first ventured into composting, I found that nut waste was one of the most difficult things to deal with. After some research, I found that chemically it can take 2 to 3 years for the shells to decompose. My recommendation would be to grind up the shells if you are adding them to your compost pile. They will still take time to break down, but it adds a nice bulk to your compost.
A tissue takes approximately six weeks to fully decompose. In  ordinary trash, this item is exposed the moisture and air needed  for decomposition to take place quickly.echnically steel or any other metal does not decompose. If you are referring to corrosion, it will eventually turn into Iron Oxide (rust) over time, but that is largely depen â¦ dent on atmospheric conditions. The more humidity, the quicker. Less oxygen, slower. In the ocean with the salt water, VERY fast.
