Default Mulch containers.

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.


You can leave the stuff in bags and just add it as you need it--I've done
that before when neighbors give us dozens of bags of leaves. Some of it
will be moldy after time, but that's fine. If you want to compost, pallets
are a good idea to hold it in, though I use three wired together instead of
four, with one side open to make it easier to turn the stuff and get it out.
