Making Leafmould. Traditionally, in Britain, bins made of wire netting are used. There is a threshold size for achieving a heating and speedy decomposition which will depend a little on the local climate. Somewhere between four and eight feet in diameter and 3 feet or more high. The leaves need to be moist but not so wet that air is excluded. A small amount of earth helps the process. With limited space; I find that a one meter cubed canvas bag, in which bulk materials are delivered, works very well if crammed with hedge clippings and Autumn leaves. The contents are useable in about eight months. I keep filling it from mid Summer until late Autumn as the contents shrink.
