Sounds like you're loading it with good stuff. If you top it with enough whole leaves they may act as a mulch. A gardening friend even shreds his leaves but doesn't mix them with anything else, and then uses them as mulch in his garden for weed control. They really do not break down very quickly at all unless chopped and mixed with green stuff. Forests build their soil slowly, apparently.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017959421018964001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-57770446171111220942010-10-04T03:51:09.353-04:002010-10-04T03:51:09.353-04:00I am the proud owner of a beautiful new raised bed...I am the proud owner of a beautiful new raised bed in my back garden,thanks to DH, which so far I have filled with manure from a neighbours small holding, compost and the scrapings from the top of the chicken and duck runs, newspaper and strawy poultry manure. I was going to top it with just leaves, but might do this instead. Or I might use it at the allotment. I think I need more lawn and more leaves...<br />Great tip, thank you!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388175819512214533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237633934633144064.post-42057831921180885082010-10-03T16:47:00.366-04:002010-10-03T16:47:00.366-04:00This is a great tip!

I wanted it so that I could feed the grass to my ducks but you are right the bag is small and once the ducks have a bag that is all they need but the lawn produces at least three bags. We put them in the compost pile and they really do help.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.com
