Claire and others,
After reading this post, I got some notes out from an old gardening class I
attended, to see what was said about using hardwood in z5/6 gardens. They
didn't recommend it. They're reasoning was that it took too long to break
down. Plus, most of the roadside trees that are being trimmed around in this
are Locus or Hedge. That's the ones with thorns and big green Hedge apples.
Please advise if this type of hardwood COULD be used as mulch if not put over
the plants in winter.

Thank you,
