Default 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

You can make tea too... but don't drink too much.

An internet search keywords "olive leaf compost" will give you some great DYI ideas for those olive leaves you have an abundance of.
There are also videos which can teach you how to compost yard waste .

There are soil and compost forums on the internet which can give an insight to the process of composting.

Not to long. If they are completely dry,when you crush them they turn to dust
