Hello,

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.


I used the 4 pallet bins for years. One nice thing is that you can just
remove the front pallet to turn the compost or empty the bin. The pallets
will decompose after a few years and need to be replaced, which is not a
big deal because they are always available free, although disposing of the
remains may be a hassle.



Not for me. I go camping and take a truckload of wood to burn. Pallets
would be just fine



All you have to do is tie the top corners together. The bottoms stay put,
in my experience.

Sweet.
