shredded tree leaves
(Allview) wrote in message ...
There's a chipper shredder in my shed but I can't handle it, so I'm running the
mower which shreds nicely. I empty the bag around every plant I have for
mulch. There's a little grass getting mowed and green with the brown is good.
When everything is mulched, I will dump into a big wire bin where I contribute
my kitchen garbage. Someday I'm going to have some real compost bins, but for
now I just have these big wire circles. I cut a little door at the bottom and
shovel good stuff out when I need it. Even if it isn't nice crumbly compost
yet it will do.

Marilyn, you sound like me.. i finally gave my son my big
chipper/shredder and only use the ole snapper to shred. i have moved
since then. where i am now, there is a huge tree a bit down south of
us that can nearly sufficate my pereniels this time of year with those
huge leaves! i took some heavy guage wire and fastened two lengths of
it to the end of a plastic covered wire stake and made me a leaf
picker-upper to take them out of the herb and flower beds where they
were smothering the plants and put them in a bag to be spread on the
lawn to be shredded, then will mulch around the plants with them and
what is left, bag up for compost.
