I've recently been bought a garden shredder, so am happily pruning
trees and
shredding most of the branches - including the smaller parts of a big
branch
that fell off an ash tree. But what do I do with the shredded material,
which is a mixture of chopped wood and leaves? Can I just spread it
around
the garden as has been suggested to me, do I need to compost it first,
or is
it suitable for both? Or does it depend on what has been shredded?

It will utilise nitrogen as is rots down, so it may well be advisable to
allow it to stand a few months and then spread it over the garden.
