dried olive leaves uses??
 

hello guys
I have a lot of dried olive leaves and I want use it but I dont know
how
I'm thinking to use it as a mulch for my bananas
or use it in my compost pile
the thing that make me not sure about using olive leaves is the leaves are very hard compare other tree leaves and also it breaks down very slowly plus I never know any one used it
but it a shame to ignore this amount of organic matter
