Mango leaves for mulch?
Hey I have a mango tree that usually has a god bit of dry leaves around it. I was reading that leaves can be used for mulching. Are mango leaves good for this and how is it done?

I have 3 mango trees in Port St Lucie Florida and each year after they are done fruiting I prune them back and save the leaves for my fall vegetable garden. I use them for mulch and at the end of the season I rake them up rather than digging them in. They break down slowly and are easy to manipulate. My fall garden is usually tomato, eggplant, green beans and cabbage.
