Can I use Leyland cypress clippings as a garden mulch?

Our Advice:

Yes, they will eventually add valuable organic material back into your garden soil. Make sure the clippings are well rotted before adding them to the garden. Mixing some Sulphate of Ammonia or pelleted chicken manure with the fresh clippings will speed up the composting process.
