Eucalyptus Mulch

Pleasant Hill, CA(Zone 9b)

Hi-

My husband called around to local arborists for some free wood chips for a landscaping job he's doing... and we now have seven YARDS of chips in the driveway. (thanks, honey!) He assumed we would get clean chips. What we got is a mixture of pine needles, wood chips and eucalyptus leaves.

He can't use it on his job because it's too mixed... so I now have seven YARDS of this stuff to use...

The google search about eucalyptus is mixed -- does anyone have an opinion on how best to use this product? I can try to give it away, and we can put a lot of it in areas that won't get used. But will it hurt my vegetable garden?

Thank you!

I don't know but if all else fails, you could try calling or emailing your extension agent. Also, most of the ag colleges have someone specializing in answering homeowner's questions.
