One of my brother's has a very large yard that has lots of leaves. When he mows the grass he mows the leaves, then we go over and rake n take. Mixed and ready to compost! His yard is a "Gold Mine" for me😊💞💞💞

Pine needles do make excellent mulch, my favorite mulch to use. They let the water through and look nice too plus they don't break down too quickly so will last and they don't get moldy either.
My overwintered unfinished compost was stone cold until I added alfalfa pellets and in a few days it got up to 120° in late March in New England cold @ 40°. I need that pretty soon too for my Spring planting. My cabinet making wood-shop source of huge bags of sawdust moved so I can't get any more. Man sawdust makes excellent compost and a lot of wood workers have their collection systems that generate a lot of it. It's powdered carbon basically and breaks down amazingly quick.

Pine needles acidifying the soil has been even more thoroughly debunked than you mention. Even coffee grounds don't acidify. The grounds and pine needles are acidic in their own, but the stuff they break down to is not.
I wish i had the bagger for mower but i dont want to come up off the cash. I have an x350 my god your bagger cost as much as your mower. Manuel labor for me for now
Ha ha, me too. Sometimes I keep mowing into itself and rake up a bunch when I need the grass clippings. My neighbors are funny because I'll hear them say "Pauly Wally we have some greens for you." whenever they prune or whatever. I have a hard time collecting the bulk I need for compost.

Great explanation on how to layer the compost piles. Gary, I've learned so much from you over the years. Thank you! Cheers, from Ontario Canada.

Nice video, thanks. Those pine needles make a great mulch as well.

Thanks for this video. Question if I use off spray on the grass for tithe mosquitoes is that really bad for my garden and compost?
Isn’t the cardboard treated to make it bug proof and waterproof?
Can I add manure and bedding from a small flock of 3 chickens?
Absolutely
Yep as long as its is composted down. Its good stuff.

Is used chicken bedding considered a brown or a green? Thanks!
Its a green because its high in nitrogen.

@@cowboyblacksmith that's exactly how I do it. JD accessories are just about as wild priced as the mower itself
