How to Make Compost from Shredded Leaves
- 1). Shred the leaves with a lawnmower or a leaf shredder.
- 2). Pile them into compost bin or a large heavy plastic bag. Add to the bag a shovelful of dirt and two shovelfuls of manure or a half cup of a high nitrogen fertilizer. Add to the compost bin fresh grass clippings.
- 3). Add enough water to saturate the leaves. If you use a compost bin, cover it with a heavy tarp or heavy plastic in the winter and mix it in early spring. If you use a heavy plastic bag, turn it occasionally during the winter.
