I mowed yesterday using my bag on the mower . Because leaves are
falling. . And got two contractor bags full of leaves and grass. Think
55 gallon barrel bag size. Can I leave them in the bags and put them on
the garden next spring. Or do I have to make a mulch container. I think
I can get 4 bags of grass when I mow. I was thinking of tying 4
pallets together if I have to make a container.


Can you buy hay where you live? If you can, 4 bales of hay set with just
each corner touching each other will be a great place to put this mix.
By next Spring you'll have the mulch you mowed and mulch from the bales
which will have turned quietly to a good mulching material. And they age
to a nice grey unlike man made objects in the garden.


OOOHHHH !!! awesome. I was going to buy Hay for spring anyways. Thank
You.


:-)) Glad to be of help. I've been spreading some of my well aged bales of
hay today - nicely matured with lots of worms in the section sitting on the
ground.
