Large material from the garden, like tomato plants and pumpkin vines, take up a lot of space and take a long time to break down. Chopping them into smaller pieces increases the surface area so worms, bugs and bacteria can break it down into compost faster. Pick out the thickest pieces to discard or break by hand and use a lawn mower or a low impact hand tool to process the thinner material. Leaves can also be chopped and will break down faster, but its not as important as chopping long stems and vines.
