  1. I've been gathering leaves in a large 50 gal plastic garbage can. I use my weed wacker to chop up the leaves in the garbage can to make leaf mold. This is the first time trying this. The weed wacker really pulverizes the leaves down to a very small size. Depending on how long you leave the weed wacker in the garbage can, you could really pulverize the leaves down to a powder. I've got a lot of leaves in that garbage can. After seeing your video about using leaves for mulch, I might just use my chopped up leave for mulch next year if the leaf mold doesn't work out.

  2. Yes wonderful ideas! Your so cool! Love learning from your videos! Thank you! Ps your dog is absolutely the most adorable dog that’s saying a lot sense I have some!

  3. I have 2 maple trees. I blow them into an area, then reverse the leaf blower to suck them in. Mine is a 12 to 1, supposed to decrease 12 bags of leaves down to 1 bag. It's finer than your leaves. I put them in some old plastic garbage cans with holes drilled on the bottom and along the sides. In the spring I used them as mulch but at the bottom of my cans, it's black gold, all decomposed for the most part. Same concept but I think the 12:1 helps break down the leaves into compost quicker. Just a suggestion for those who have a leaf blower that reverses to a vacuum.

  4. It's a neat idea. It's a bit of a shame to burn gas and waste a plastic bag for a few leaves and seedlings.
    Near my house people just lazy compost in a pile and use it as mulch the next year. You also have to pay a lot more for the extra bag you throw away.
    Perhaps returning the bags while making compost would be better. I also notice slugs near leaves but not as much in compost or rough wood mulch.

  5. I used straw this year and it was full of seeds. I guess seed heads got sucked up into the binder. First time straw has done this to me, but I had some kind of grain coming up all summer. Also, I love clean grass clippings, they turn brown quick and get "sucked" into the soil by worms fast. Also very free. 🙂
    Thanks for your video.

  6. Hello, I'm Ahmed from Egypt, I like to follow you very much
    Always waiting for the new video
    I want to say a suggestion
    Why don't you grow mushrooms
    And beekeeping to produce honey and help plants to bear fruit

  7. An interesting side note I just learned: walnut leaves produce a chemical called juglone which "can cause severe damage and even kill solanaceous crops (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant)".  Composting walnut leaves breaks down the juglone in 4-6 weeks so that it is no longer harmful, but I guess walnut leaves are the one leaf we will want to avoid when laying down mulch.

  8. Been my experience over the years that when I heavily mulch with leaves in the fall and move them back in the spring to plant seeds in the soil or even seedlings, they do not sprout or do well that year. I am sure that is because fresh leaves have toxins in them that keep weeds from growing under the trees. Now I use leaves as a mulch only after they have set in a pile for a season.
