Hello, This is my first post so please be gentle. I have just trimmed a cedar hedge and was thinking that rather than hauling away the clippings I could use them as a kind of "mulch" for a path through my vegetable garden. I'm just wondering if this is a very bad idea.....? The path slopes from side to side and the downhill side has established raspberries and marionberries (sp?) I'm just wondering if this is a viable alternative to hauling away the trimmings and then hauling IN some other medium to spread on the path. I like the idea of reusing and re-purposing. Thank you, Darren
Yes, perfectly OK, though the needles may be a mite prickly if you're in the habit of going barefoot in summer. If you're just using them on pathways, put them down as they are; if using as a mulch on soil, better to compost them for a few months first.
