dead cordyline leaves
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? Des |

Tie them tight together in a bundle and use it as a broom, like a "witches broom", works well for leaves etc. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |
