lelandii, any good for compost
Hello.
Have question regarding the use of Lelandii as a compost. Noting that usually not much grows under a lelandii tree or two does it make useful compost and if so what is the compost best suited to? Can shred it first to speed the process. Loraine |

It will make your compost slightly acid, but yes, it composts well. Nothing much grows under Leylandii because it's dark and dry, not because of the compost there. Really? The branches / leaves I've cut off and missed seem to remain untouched for months, they dont rot at all. -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |
