Any idea how much compost 20 bin bags of leaves will make and how much ground it will feed?

Getting very good soil conditioner for free. Seems worth it.

thanks gobs,

i was thinking that would be the reason behind it!

is it used as a compost or a top dressing / mulch?

gobs · « **Reply #25 on:** November 09, 2007, 20:03 »

Any of those really as it's very gentle once ready.

you wont get anything better than leaf mould to condition your soil especially if you have clay soil

Munty thanks for your minimalist answer but just to check, my 20 bags of leaves will cover only 8sq yards? That's only 5ft of my plot which is 1/24th of the whole so I'll need 24 x 20 bags to cover the whole plot? Please tell me I'm not just panicking Munty,
:shock:

PS my plot is 15 x 120ft.

He is right as most of times, SN, they will rot down to alot less than they are.
