What Rubi said..... I have 20 Maple trees in my backyard which means ALOT of leaves I pick up. I do this with a lawn vac pulled behind my garden tractor. Tractor mower chops them up and the leaf vac's impeller chops them even more. I have been dumping them in my woods for years and I have a huge pile of "leaf dirt".
In the spring I mix this "dirt" in with last years growing soil and compost from my barrel tumblers. Very good results. No mulching for me. I grow in 95% containers (4'x4') and strawbales.
to you!
