    Hi,

    I have been gardening over weekend. Tryinf to control damn leylandi trees. Previous owner let fo so had to major job to bring down a bit.

    Problem now is that i have about 80(guess) coal bags full of cuttings plus a pile too big/thick to bag.

    Anyone know of a cheap way to get rid of.
    I am in the Wexford area.

    Cheers,
    J

    Could you hire a shredder for a day and then scatter the material as a mulch if you have the space?

    It's probably cheaper to get them collected than chipped on site.

    Collection depends somewhat on vehicle access and whether you can bothered to hump them all the way to wherever that is.

    I got about 3m x 15 leylandii cuttings chipped earlier this year and got two huge piles of chippings out of them, very useful for mixing with grass in compost.

    Thanks for the replies everyone.

    I got a guy to collect the majority of it, he will come back for rest. Fairly reasonable so probably was best option.

    Good for making ericaceous compost for growing blueberries.
