shredded leaves for garden

elkwc36 · November 22, 2008

I'm fortunate here. Can get all the mulch I want fairly easy. Just a little hauling on some of it. The local recreation department lets me have all the grass clippings I want. A co worker also tends several yards and keeps all clippings and now bringing me the leaves he picks up. Just came in from outside unloading a trailer load he brought. He parks the trailer and I just have to unload and move it. If I'm not ready to apply them I just pile them put a cover to hold them down and then add when I'm ready. These were mainly elm with a few oak. I use the loose hay from around my stacks and when I need more there is always someone with some to give away. Have a few 3-4 y/o round wheat bales to haul in this week. Should almost have enough stored now to last me through most of next season. But can't turn it down when offered.
