Harvesting Leaves for Mulch

 Each year I try to save a good amount of shredded leaves to use as mulch in the raised beds and containers.  Anything left over get's mixed into the compost.  The Maple Tree at the fire pit is my favorite for leaf collecting. Tuesday afternoon I used the leaf chopper to suck up four bags of leaves.  The whole area was spic and span and leaf free.  Wednesday morning I went out to find this.  

Sucked up eight bags and blew the rest into the woods....

My leaf compost tube contains 15 shredder bags full of leaves.  I don't need any more, but still, it will be hard to pass them up when they are coming down this thickly.
