leafs compost idea
    #23561817 - 08/21/16 12:15 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Im a big fan of coir. I really am. Straws a distance second. My idea thanks to the new guy talking about making his compost in his urban area. Leafs like tree leafs in every yard. They hold water close to same as straw and be free. Full od plant fibers. So why does no one use leaf matter as a sub? I know it has a high mold spore count but proper pasteurization should fix that right?

I feel a test coming on. I need a iso gene. One bacth per leaf mulch. One straight coir. One 50/50 each of leaf/coir, leaf/ straw, leaf/manure. And the five monotube to do it all in.

Someone remind to do this soon the leafs are just now starting fall here.

I don't think its used traditionally because then ur recipe is really only good for 2 months of the year.

it might not hold its structure like straw can after breaking down.  picture taking a handful of dried leaves in ur hand and crushing them, they would disintegrate, whereas a handful of dried straw will hold itself together.  but it would be cool to try.
