Hello all,
I want to try making some leaf mould and am in the process of collecting
up
leaves around the garden. What I need to know is does it matter if there
are
a few bits of twigs,stems and grass mixed in. These odd bits and pieces
are
only a small amount. Will it make any overall difference to the finished
product? I know that you have to leave the gathered leaves for about a
year
to compost.
Advice gratefully received.

Hi,
The only thing it will do is lengthen the time before the composting
process is complete. I have just started using compost from a leylandi
hedge which I shredded /chipped some 3 - 4 years ago. Lovely dark brown
stuff it is too.
