What are the best leaves for compost?

Great info, thanks for the video! I'm struggling a little bit with volume of leaves because i'm in Queensland, but a few silky oaks that are dropping leaves in the start of spring have me covered.

Thank you. Of course, not so many deciduous trees where you are. At least things grow fast so hopefully plenty of lead litter. Good luck!

I’m wanting to make more compost so wanted some autumn leaves. I’ve been eyeing off all the trees losing their leaves at the moment around where I live (Mid North Coast NSW), so this video has been fantastic, thank you! And I was wondering if it’s ok just to pull up to a park or street and start collecting, so this has given me confidence to do that 😊

Glad you found it helpful! Don’t worry, I’ve been collecting leaves for years. Some people look at me strangely but most really appreciate me cleaning up the leaves. Good luck!

@@TheBiteSizedGarden so I went and collected my first autumn leaves, thanks to you! It didn’t take long to fill my bags, and no one came and told me to stop, so I’ll be back to that spot again soon 😊 The leaves are from a maple, so I got plenty of the seed pods as well. I assume you remove them before using the leaves?

@@sharonhoffer3599 Nice one! Maple leaves should be good. Yes, I would remove the seed pods where you can, although they are pretty easy to pull out if they sprout so don't worry too much.

Perfect video, i was wandering if all the leaves in my garden cold be used instead of throwing them away.
