    I find easy to put on grass and run over with mower and put collection thing on. Does brilliant job. Keep up the good work 👍

    I love the look of the shredded leaves mate. I've composted leaves for years and just let them break down as they are. I haven't got a shredder but I can run them through the lawnmower a few times. Cheers.

    Thanks a lot. I don't know the space you have to work with, but you could put all the leaves in those 24 bags out on the grass and mow it with a riding mower in a few minutes in 5-10 minutes, I did that yesterday with about 15 bags worth of leaves which I raked into a big pile, the shredded leaves took up half a large bag, and the riding mower shreds the leaves quite well, only tiny pieces left. I do realize it depends on the mower and the amount of space available.

    I’m doing leaf mould for the first time this year, I have 3 bags, I have a way to go until I’m at your level. I can’t wait to see the difference in time between the two piles.

    Good video. The other option is to put them in a bucket and use a strimmer to cut them down. I've been use that method as I find it the quickest method (over shredder, mower)

      I’ve done that before with straw when I grew mushrooms and it worked really well
      I might try it with leaves, good shout 👍

      I lost about 20 in the heatwave but the others have come through although not put much growth on, I watered them about 6 times through the heatwave but the bank where they are is stoney and very well draining so I think they struggled a bit, it’s just hard having no mains water
      But hopefully they’ll be well rooted for next year if we get another hot patch
