I didn't realize this was a problem until I just thought about it a minute ago. With my last grow, I had one of my connects come and take all my old leaves and branches after harvest, so they can sell it as schwag. But now I'm ready to start my next op and its going to be much bigger than my last one.
What are some good ways of disposing of plants after you harvest?
I have an electric garden waste shredder, but the stems have to be cut into foot lengths before shredding otherwise the fibers jam the cutting blade.
I find in the late fall and winter the wood stove is a good place to get rid of extra stuff. Spring and summer (actually year round) the outdoor "burn barrel" works well, and is a great way I have found to dispose of rockwool "evidence" safely.
In fact, it is the only method I have found to break down the RW and get the root material to disappear. :thumbsup:
BTW if you start to grow SOG, you won't have branches and leaves to dispose of.
