Cherry Laurel

Hi, I have. Huge Cherry Laurel hedge in my garden.

What I would like to know is can I burn the leaves. I have had opposing views on the subject and don't know what to do.

They don't break down easily and I don't know how to keep on top of them.   Any advise would be truly appreciated.

    I mow them up, or shatter them with a mower and leave them or put them through the shredder. 

    I can't see why you can't burn them if you have bonfires, but I don't.

    No doubt someone will come along and say we are poisoning the atmosphere because they contain cyanide.

  • Sorry, I meant burning the dried up leaves.
