I was out looking for shredded leaves also, found some but the great majority I had to shred myself, or either use therm like they were. I took a bag full down to the bog garden and dumped them out, Yeow!!! A copperhead came crawling by just in front of me. Not sure if he came out of the bag, or just moved when I dumped the bag. Anyhow, I quickly found a metal rod and dispatched him. I had a hard time finding him when I came back with the rod, he blended right in with the leaves, making it hard to find him if he was not moving.
