That said leaf blowers are so loud (make sure everyone around has hearing protection)
Have you considered using a rake to make piles on a tarp?
The tarp is then dragged to your desired composting location and emptied.
I learned this method from my elderly Korean neighbor when I was young and have used it over leaf blowing for the last 20 years.
Keep ethanol fuel out of the equipment to keep the carbs in good shape.
My cost on batteries/electricity is probably less than I would have spent on fuel. The noise/size/maintenance-free advantages of electric are huge too.
How compost leaves? Just put in a pile?
How add mycillium/fungi to said pile?
I just put a bunch of leaves out to green pickup - but I would rather learn how to compost them... off to google - but would love your input
For anaerobic (no oxygen) composting you just leave the pile alone and let nature do it’s work. The spores are already there they just need the right conditions. It will take months to year(s) if you just let it sit.
For aerobic composting you should layer leaves and grass clippings. One brown layer, one green layer and so on. It’s best done in a sunny area and you’ll need to turn the compost weekly. It should only take a few months or more and it will be hot. Ever driven by a steaming pile of wood chips or some other steaming earthy pile? Organisms are making heat while they feed on organic matter.
Just remember the fungus and organisms are already there they just needs the right conditions to flourish.
For hot compost you will need a feedstock of nitrogen for the bacteria. Grass clippings, coffee grounds, liquid nitrogen (urine). This is bacteria dominant composting (hot composting is fast).
On the other hand if you want to do less work just make them in a pile and allow for fungi to process the leaves over a longer period of time. This is fungi dominant composting (cold composting is slower).
The soil life is already present on the leaves. Just keep the pile consistently moist but not soaking wet.
I have hot composting videos documented on YouTune, although they are from before I upgraded my camera so the quality isn't as good as my newer videos, hopefully still informational.
