Default Composting seagrass?

Hi all
as the subject line says - I have an amount of old, dry seagrass taken
from some chairs I have re-seated. Would it be OK to compost this? I'm
wondering how long it might take to rot down, and whether it might have had
nasty chemicals related to its processing/drying.

Thanks
Jon N

If it is genuine and not plastic, I would put it though the shredder first,
making sure the blades are sharp.

I was doing some rough shredding yesterday because it was a lovely sunny
day, like today, but the blades were a bit off and not everything was cut
fine. I don't think they would have done to seagrass all that well
