Madarin leaf compost
Hello,
I have a healthy madarin tree in my backyard. When it drops leaves it takes a long time for them to break down and become compost. Could someone please advise as to whether it would be worthwhile buying a cheap composter/shredder to accelerate this process? How long would it take for the leaves to breakdown in the composter and would this be good for the garden? The leaves are quite waxy. Thanks, Graeme. |

10 points for that answer, plus you can also use he mower to mulch other
surplus vegetation. My mulching mower saves me many trips to the tip. .. "LindaB" wrote in message ... "Graeme" graeme wrote: Hello, I have a healthy madarin tree in my backyard.

If you have lawn, and a catcher on your mower, I would just mow them, then add them to the compost or use the result as garden mulch. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Just be careful to allow any horse nuggets or other manures to dry for a few days beforehand. David -- Posted on news://freenews.netfront.net - Complaints to -- |
