Re: Leaf Shredder
Hi Phyllis
This guy who has a cow herd delivers it. He is trying to make this into
a business but I think I am about his only customer. He turns it for a
year or two and rototills it before he delivers it on a large trailer.
He charges $55 a load which I don't think is too bad. I am adding about
4" to everything and am going to do that for a few years until it gets
the soil very workable.
Bye
Bob
