Allotments 4 All

We have two large Eucalyptus trees in the garden that shed leaves all year round. Does anyone know if the leaves could be used as a mulch - perhaps mixed with grass cuttings? I'm worried they might be too acidic or medicinal(?) or something.

My OH is getting tired of weeding round her fruit bushes.

I can't see why not, under fruit bushes... my think twice around Lettuce...
;D

OOO if you could shred them and release the oils then they would be a good fly deterant...not sure what insects they would repel but would certainly be worth a try!
