Is it easy to be broken down? + h( ?, `: `! k# R+ ]
' \& ~7 x4 W- M* M: q0 S! l" iNo, it breaks down slowly because of its high C:N. It makes a very attractive mulch as well, so if you have a lot of it I suggest spreading it on top of autumn leaves around trees or shrubs, or at the back of the bed where weeding is a chore.
