About 10 bags of leaves are ready to start making leaf mold from mainly willow, forsythia, plum trees, and birch trees. leaves have been blown and raked up today and are surprisingly dry, considering the rain we've had.
I was going to use all of them, but now only want to keep back 2 bags, so the rest are up for grabs.
It can take up to 2 years to make leaf mold, but you can just store loosely bagged in bin liners, with holes poked in the side for aeration and forget about them and if you're patient, you can make your own, free compost. these are already bagged and the resulting compost can be used to pot up seedlings or top-dress lawns, beds, and borders.
Collection after 4.30 pm on weekdays, please.
