Mulchmaker, Mulchmaker, make me a mulch!

I am singing and dancing, because I got a new, cheap leaf shredder from Princess Auto, and it has revolutionized my gardening. The two catalpa trees at the end of my driveway usually take up bags and bags just for the leaves (I pollard them each fall). This year they were tidily turned into one bag of leaf litter in about fifteen minutes. Cool! I used it for mulch this time, but I also intend to chop up leaves to add to my compost. No more unsightly black garbage bags of rotting leaves needed! 

I have sadly neglected my garden soil for a long time, but I mean to change all that. And my new toy will be the key, I think.
