I use the leaf vacuum attachment to my leaf blower. Definitely not a great tool for huge amounts of leaves but it gets the job done. Poke a few holes in those bags and you'll have leaf mold by the spring. Almost as good as compost. <BR/><BR/>Ki, Nice work! My mower died just as the grass stopped growing this fall/winter (nice timing) so I didn't have the option to shred with the mower. But it's nice to hear that my little blog is having some effect. :)Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-46226535274266551552008-01-16T09:17:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:17:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:17:00.000-05:00You'll be proud of me. This year I collected all of our leaves (and our neighbor's windblown leaves) raked them in a pile and used my mower to shred them. Used it as compost around the more tender plants and will work them into the soil when the weather gets warmer. See all your articles had some effect.Kihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-72859395241692011612008-01-15T23:59:00.000-05:002008-01-15T23:59:00.000-05:002008-01-15T23:59:00.000-05:00Hi Anthony<BR/><BR/>Do you use any special equipment to shred your leaves? I gathered and stored copious amounts of leaves last (Southern Hemisphere) fall. I have them stored in black polythene bags but I fear it's going to take years for them to break down. I do use some as the brown layer in compost though.kiwikeithnoreply@blogger.com
