8. That's what I plan to do this fall and over the winter.

I'm going to have alot of brown stuff as there are many maple trees on the block I live in and I constructed a compost bin last week and already have it started with mulched leaves, cut up cardboard and paper and green scraps from the kitchen.

With the leaves that will be coming, I'll chop them up fine with my mulching mower and work some of it into my garden beds that I'm preparing for next years. The rest will go into the compost bin. Even with the leaves chopped up, I expect my 4' wide by 3' deep and 3' high compost bin to be full and thus won't have enough 'greens' to make it work properly so I'll be adding my urine throughout the fall and winter.
