15lbs of trim, gone in 60 seconds

[the gnome]

managing 70 3-4ft plants produces some waste come lollipop time......
this is how you make it gone in 60 seconds

15lb stems and piles of leaves
spread it out around 6" thick....

run over it 5-6times with one of these

looks like this in less than 60 seconds

this is whats left of any recognizable size

Still looks like a lot of quite recognizable stem and leaf pieces laying on the ground in the last photo.

why don't you run it through a well-built juicer? soul food...harvest/juice as much as you are going to use per serving. You can also juice it all at once and then freeze it in cubes or what have you.

i used a push mower for a few years before I got the yard harley...
just add another 10 passes
same results

forgot to add...
you'll have a sweet smelling yard for an hour or 2....

Who sells them at that price Wallmart ?

Why not make it more fun. I reckon this would be quicker than 60 seconds and be a lot more fun.

i popped many a wheelie before getting a rider



that must be the columbian *gone in 60 second* method clarence

qupee, depending on how much gets mulched, i'll usually rake everything together after 3-4 passes and hit it a few more times,
i didn't rake when i took the pic.
if there are any tiny pieces of leaf left,
after a few hrs you can't tell what it is.
once the you crush the leaf cells its not long before it's mushy green stuff

after that if there's any stem,
rake and i do a *clarence the cremater* job on it

I tried the burning method once and only once. the wind totally shifted and I blazed up the neighborhood lol.

I could have stayed high for a year from that amount. It's insane how much you just wasted.

i loaded a pile of 1/2 dried stuff in the burning trash can
it smothered the fire and sent out smoke signals for 2 blocks around

m314..

I moved here from Florida back in 2010. Lol. I'd take you up on the offer if I could. I know what you mean about not having the time; I just hate wasting anything.

I'd dry those leaves and stems, coursely grind or shred them, then do an isopropanol extraction to get a significant amount of edible oil. Then just burn them afterwards. The post-extraction leaves and stems don't have much of a weed smell when you burn them.
