RE: Shredding Leaves For Garden Mulch

in HiveGarden3 years ago

You are lucky you have maple and not oak. The oak are too acidic to use many of them, so they used to go to the chickens for pen bedding when mowed up. This year I had to put them over the bank. :((

Yes, I've always been careful to not collect oak leaves for my mulch. All you have to do is look around the base of an oak tree to see that it inhibits the growth of other plants.
