IT'S A GRIND!

Our new yard has two big-ass maple trees and they can put down a lot of leaves. We knew we needed some electric help so we purchased a Worx electric leaf shredder from Sears.
We discovered that if we run over the newly fallen leaves with the lawnmower and then run them through the shredder, we get a nice fine product that we can mulch. Since maple leaves are not high in cellulose, they should decay quickly so we can use them next year around the plants in the garden. Our cubic yard wire bin bought many years ago from Gardener's Supply holds them in check whilst letting air and rain get to them. I add a bit of compost maker to the layers to help things along over the winter.
Luckily for me, Mr. A does the grinding!
