What do do with shredded waste?
Hi all,
I've got loads of lopped off branches from conifers to put through the shredder when I hire it in at the weekend. I intend to compost it but, as I am about to lay a new lawn in a couple of weeks, was wondering if it would be worth mixing it in with the top soil instead - or is that a really dumb idea? As you may have guessed, I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to things like...er...gardening - but trying to learn! Many thanks, jd |

Many thanks, jd We use it as a mulch or compost it, don't dig it in to the topsoil if you are going to seed grass soon afterwards. You may add it in to lower depths as a bulk filler fi you are filling a hole or you could dig it in if you are leaving the soil fallow for some months. If neither of these, compost it. If you want some organic material well rotted poop or some mature compost will do the job better. rob |
