our garden is covered in dead Cordyline leaves. I have tried shredding
them with a small shredder and they simply tangle and jam it. I also
tried running over them with a petrol mower and same 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?

Tie them tight together in a bundle and use it as a broom, like a "witches
broom", works well for leaves etc.
