Mulch containers.

 

Hello,

 I mowed yesterday using my bag on the mower . Because leaves are falling. .
And got two contractor bags full of leaves and grass. Think 55 gallon barrel
bag size. Can I leave them in the bags and put them on the garden next
spring. Or do I have to make a mulch container. I think I can get 4 bags of
grass when I mow. I was thinking of tying 4 pallets together if I have to
make a container.

 




I use chicken wire (actually the larger 1.5" grid wire) for the compost
bins. 99% of the grass and leaves stay in the bin.
Many years ago Dad used to use bricks(cinder blocks) to build a pen,
worked as well.

Cheers
 

 
Can you buy hay where you live?  If you can, 4 bales of hay set with just
each corner touching each other will be a great place to put this mix.  By
next Spring you'll have the mulch you mowed and mulch from the bales which
will have turned quietly to a good mulching material.  And they age to a
nice grey unlike man made objects in the garden.

 

OOOHHHH  !!! awesome.   I was going to buy Hay for spring anyways.  Thank
You.

:-))  Glad to be of help.  I've been spreading some of my well aged bales of
hay today - nicely matured with lots of worms in the section sitting on the
ground.
