    Laurel Chippings

    Please help, our friendly tree surgeon turned up yesterday unloaded a huge load starts to drive of then says "thats laurel its got cyanide in you know" smells gorgeous though like almonds/marzipan

    Question now is can we use it as a mulch on plots or should we restrict it to being used for paths

    thanks

      I remember at school when we collected butterflies for pressing we popped them in to a jar with a few laurel leaves and the cyanide gas killed them humanely.
      I wouldn't use them in the chook runs (I think Yew is also poisonous to animals) but they would be ok on the allotment paths. After a year or two they could be taken from the paths and used as a garden mulch.
