Hi all, hubby is chopping down some conifers (yuk) that we inherited in our garden - can I use the slimmest branches as pea sticks?
I'm wondering if it might save us some money, but don't want to sacrifice our crop if they're no good - thought i might have read somewhere they secrete something nasty into the soil? Thanks for any advice! x
They should be OK. Conifer needles don't make a good environment for plants to grow in, and the roots may inhibit other plants, but that would relate to live plants not dead sticks. A few needles dropping off the sticks wouldn't do any harm.
i yhink you be ok to,i use all the cut down raspberrry canes
Aren't conifer 'sticks' too bendy?
