Russian vine - how to safely compost it

Many years ago, the neighbours planted a Russian vine. I think they have removed it from their garden, but it invaded my parents garden, and I am desperate to get on top of it, and hopefully eradicate it over time.
We are pulling it out of the Lawson cyprus tree, and also out of the retaining wall. The thick woody stems, many 2 inches in diameter, we will burn. Is it safe to put the thin woody stems, and green growth in the compost pile? I am hoping to mow it, to shred it, beforehand. However I do not want to be doing a mass stem-cutting propagation experiment!!

 

If you can leave it to dry out for a weak or two to dry out before you compost it you will reduce any liklihood of this monster regrowing.

 

Thank you! We can just about do that - it’s 10 days before we return to Belgium, so we’ll mowitjust before we leave…

 

I dont think its known for growing from small pieces, maybe the roots are but not the top growth.
However its not something I have ever grown so cant say for certain.

If you shred it first I doubt it will be a problem.

 

Remove any roots and shred the rest - it shouldn't then be a problem in the compost heap/box.
