Hi everyone,
A newbie here. Love the forum - have been lurking for a while. Tried advanced search and didn't find anything so please be kind!
We recently moved into a new (rented) house and are taming the garden to grow some veg this summer. With permission from the landlords, we've taken down a huge conifer that was stealing most of the light from the future veg area.
We've made five bags of shreddings and there's more to go... now, what can we do with them? My dad reckons they'd be good mulch for weed killing on areas around new beds and we can put them on straight away, but I've read this is a bad idea due to the resins. But then conversely, I read somewhere that the shreddings might be good for potatoes? 
It's not just bark, it's actually mostly the green stuff. Don't know if this makes a difference.
I'm really confused, thanks for any help you can give!
