Having chopped down a vast laurel tree we are left with a huge mountain of
branches and leaves to dispose of. If we left this heap to just sit there,
how long before it would dry enough so we could just burn it in a dustbin?
Or would it take so long we just have to face up to cutting it up and taking
away to the local dump.



Normally burns with great vigour after a couple of days, trick is to get
the fire good and hot first using the non leafy stuff
