Hello, I'm building some Hugelbeds and have a lot of California bay laurel on my lot, wondering if I can use them? I searched if they are alleopathic and didn't come up with a direct answer. I know the leaves smell similar to eucalyptus but they grow closely mixed with oak and madrone trees, so how alleopathic can they be? I am planning on using mostly oak and madrone but it would be a huge help to get rid of some of the bay trees too.
Also wondering about if it matters that most of the trees were burnt in a forest fire a couple years ago?
Thanks!
