our garden is covered in dead Cordyline leaves. I have tried
shredding them with a small shredder and they simply tangle and jam

happened. I tried composting and they emerge after 6 months looking
the same as when they went in. Anyone got any recipes? Can you smoke
them? Could I build an extension or line the chimney with them?

use tham as the bottom layer of a new bin of compost - they will rot down
in time - mine do!

this is the best suggestion of the 3 so far. I will do that.
