Re: Shredding leaves

Have you simply thought of composting the leaves. Last year I composted truck
loads of leaves with great results. Simply layer the leaves 8 inches thick in a large bin mine is 5 ft X 5 ft x 5 ft on every layer spray a solution of fish emulsion and ammonium sulfate and water keep it wet and it will compost to a rich humus by next season. My bin is decorative and keeps the leaves tidy and inclosed. I made it myself cost around $100 and was worth every penny. Was never able to fill it though as it would brake down faster than I could fill it. I was at times putting one truck load a day five days a week and still it cooked faster than you could imagine. Just a thought.....
    Take care and grow em BIG !!!!!
