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.



In New Zealand at the recycling centres and at the green waste section signs
state 'No Cabbage Plants', ie., no cordylines. So there must be something
about them that doesn't suit composting.
