Is it safe to use shredded leylandii branches in a mulch/compost heap? The
reason why I am asking is that it seems nothing grows under the dreaded
trees, and I am wondering if the trees themselves are toxic?
Many thanks for informed replies!


They'll be fine - the lack of growth under conifers is due to the lack
of light, and the natural mulching effect of the dead foliage.
