Reply #24: Use two bins to start if necessary... [View All]

then combine after the leave season if you need the space. Even with many mature trees, I'm able to use just one because I manage and feed it every week (turning with a fork before loading). Mulching reduced the volume of the leaves by three quarters so you can get a lot into it. Also, as it cooks (I maintain 140 degrees by adding water to keep moist - not soaked) the pile will reduce by half every week. If the leaves accumulate and get ahead of you, just store in your green tote bins until there's room. Point being the more we keep out of the land fill the better off we are, no?
