Incredible, Amazing....Leaf Mold

ai told me to make leaf towers, it told me to make 3 foot wide by 3 foot high circles out if chicken wire, I got as close as I could with what I found around the property, I have them both connected to a tpost in the middle, but I need to try and staple down the other ends so they don't move, I fill a chopped in half rain barrel half high with leaves and then spin a weed whacker in the barrel to mulch them, and pour into my tower, ai said to wet it after each layer, and ai said it should decompose within 6-12 months if its mulched as opposed to years if left whole

I just made these yesterday that's why one is empty and one only has three inches of mulch, collecting leaves is hard here due to the amount of sticks, I try to include as little sticks as possible

I may keep an eye out for bags of leaves at the curb, people are raking this time of year, I have all the leaves I could use already on my property, but like I said the sticks make collecting difficult, once I finish clearing this area I'll rake the sticks, next fall I should be able to collect the leaves easier

What's the best way to use this leaf litter? Should I mid it 50/50 with my wood chips to spread around my fruit trees?
