I was at my local recycling center and noticed they have this huge bin of shredded "stuff". I asked if the mulch was available to the public and he wouldn't call it mulch, just whatever yard waste that would go in the shredder, leaves, limbs, vines, etc.
I am going to be starting a new bed in my front lawn this fall and was thinking of using the lasagna method (more or less). I have access to plenty of cattle manure and bedding to layer it with, as well as plenty of leaf mold going in my "spare bins". I will also have plenty of lawn clippings throughout the summer.
Do you think this stuff will be ok for a long term bed started now and planted in the fall? Thanks for any advice!
Joey
