I would till the garden first. If the leafs were a foot thick in the fall, by spring there would be less than 6 inches. By the end of the summer, they were all gone. So why put them in a bio-degrader box? They decomposed in the garden, keep the ground moist, keep the weeds down, didn't have to stake the tomatoes. All I did was rake the leafs pack a little and plant the garden. I called it mimimun work gardening. Like no till. How much can you lift with the boom? George [Reply]   [No Email]

I grew up with , and still have a compost box/area. We put all biodegradable (sp?) stuff in it and use the compost on the garden. Only downside is Raccoons like it too. I have a reasonably priced paintball gun that discourages them somewhat, and learned lately , if you freeze the 'balls' ( come on now, the paintballs) they seem to have a better responce.
