    Thanks for all the helpful tips!
    Each fall, I collect as many fallen leaves as I can with my mulching lawnmower, spread some on all my raised beds, and bag up the rest. Also each fall (for the last few years) I build 2 new raised bed (4' x12'), to which I add kitchen scraps and the bagged leaf mulch (in layers) all through the winter. In the spring, I let my chickens scratch through the new beds for a few days, which mixes it all up. It wasn't completely finished compost by spring planting time (it looked much like your third cup from the video), but the things that grew in those beds were almost pest-free and prolific!. It is now a year later (since starting the 2 new beds from last year) and the soil is black gold!.

    I’m using a mixture of autumn leaves and kelp , with added dried crushed Langoustine and crab shell ,

    I gather leaves by cleaning up my mother in law's lawn every fall but I've only ever used them for bedding in the chicken barn. From there they go with the chick poo to the compost. Is doing this method going to be more beneficial than mine?
