eucalyptus leaves as mulch
« on: April 04, 2012, 13:29 »
I am chopping my 4 good sized trees and they have leaves ( :)) can I take the leaves off and spread in the path as mulch before taking them to skip? will it do any harm?
I am not going to compost it though as they are tough little ones and take ages even to dry out.

Eucalyptus oil is a very useful herbal product Dopey  :)


Prakash, we used our prunings, chippings  and leaves from the massive tree we  flled at home for our children ay school's play area. Did a great job and smelled lovely  :D :D :D

I used to put it on a paper towel next to the steam outlet,  when I went in to the steam room at the gym, everyone loved the smell of it, and asked what it was, and tea tree oil as well, you came out nice and fresh and smelled of the stuff, it is nice, I used to get it for free, delivered 50galon barrels of the stuff to a warehouse, they gave me bottles of it to take away.... very expensive, and it was pure oil
