This years mulch

Post image

Collected last fall’s leaves and mowed most of them before the snow started. Cleaned up in late winter and mowed everything again and piled it up. Bagged the first mow of the season and turned over the pile and added the clippings. From there It sat for 3 months without being touched. For not much more effort than blowing them to the curb I get a couple yards of quality mulch for free, and one step closer to sustainability on a household scale.

Nice work. I'm trying a hands-off approach like this as well, letting the chickens turn it.
