Hi, Folks!

We have an acre of oak/hickory/maple woodland in the middle of our farm and the leaves are relatively easy to gather.  I wanted to shred them both for the chickens I’m getting (deep litter method) and for mulch for the garlic.  What’s your most efficient way of shredding lots of leaves?

 

We have a BCS with a BIO-150 chipper/shredder, but the leaves keep getting jammed in the shredder chute.  We’re using a pole to stir the leaves to get them to the blades, but if there is a more efficient way to shred an acre’s worth of leaves, I’m all ears.

 

Thanks!
