May I ask an opinion.  I've had work done on my hedge and have been left with this. Shall I leave it for wildlife other chip it down for a pathway (it's  hedge honeysuckle?

    I would think the majority of that would be too soft to chip. So its a bib/dump job unless you have a hidden part of the garden you can hide it in.

    Spread it out and go over it with a lawnmower, then put it on the compost heap if you have one.

    pile it up in a corner.  I did this with hedge trimmings a couple of years ago in my front garden and was rewarded with a pair of dunnocks nesting in it last spring.  it is a great way to help wildlife :)

    You can't leave it like that unless you're after 1st class honours in GoS ( Gallery of Shame thread)image
