Vegie mulch

[jkkfam89]

I started my garden and used some of last year grass clippings as mulch (placed on raised portions around plants). I grabbed some DEAD arborvitaes and was wondering if the dead leaves/branches would work good around the plants also?

I personally would run all woody plants throw a chipper. Compost them with the grass clippings.
