Pine needles in finished compost...

15 years ago

My main compost pile is pretty much finished for the season and everything has broken down nicely... everything except for pine needles. It is impossible to gather the leaves on my lawn without having lots of pine needles in the mix. Would there be any harm in using the finished compost with the pine needles in it, or should I filter the compost and either put the needles in the unfinished pile, mulch with them, or simply discard? They just seem to take an awful long time to break down. My instinct is to filter and much with them, but that's a lot of work. Thoughts?
