 Weeks 3-5: October 3-14 - How To Make Leaf Mould


   After watching this video the three things I found most interesting was that first of all, different types of leaves take longer to decay and therefore effect the compost. I also found it interesting that bone meal can increase the levels of nitrogen which will help it decay. The third thing I found most interesting was that it takes a whole year for the leaf mould to be fully usable for compost. Something I would like to look for in the garden is one; the state of decay of our leafs and see if they could use bone meal, and second of all the different types of trees around our compost bin and wether they are prime for creating leaf mould or not.
