Composting a Cordyline?
"Johno" wrote
My neighbour had a codyline, hideous scrawny thing, until it died following
last winters severe cold weather. It has remained standing, ugly and bare
since then. Until last weekend, when it finally keeled over. I offered to
help hm dispose of it as he is in not brilliant health.
It was after making the first cut through the trunk I noticed how similar
it is to coir fibre.
That got me thinking, could it be recycled into a compost or mulch? Anyone
here have experience of this.
My initial thought was to hack it into chunks, split the chunks lengthwise
and place in blag bags/under cover and let nature take its course.
If it is a non starter then it is going to the tip
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
The branches that died on mine went in the compost bin and rotted down
without a problem.
