Well done. We are not complaining just mentioning things. It's nice to see you being able to work so hard. You are a dedicated man with improving video quality each week.
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 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

Yeah it’s good to get other peoples take on things I do like I always say I’m no expert and always learning
Thanks for your support 👍
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 👍
Thanks 👍

Great idea!
@@SmallholdingUK OK thanks

I’ll update when I turn the new pile 👍

I’ve done that before with straw when I grew mushrooms and it worked really well
I might try it with leaves, good shout 👍
How the eucalyptus trees doing? We planted a few gunni recently as couldnt easily get hold of nittens.
