I've got a bit of some Acacia leaf and bark and would like to know the best way to get the leaves and bark grinded into a fine powder. This was on I've put the leaves through the mulcher I have

and it just shreds them a little bit as it spits them out.

The coffe grinder works okay but would take too long and probably break before I had enough.

How do you think fresh leaves would go in a food processor?

What does everyone use to get their leaves to powder or at least properly mulched?

Maybe I might try and run the leave over with the lawn mower.

I tried the lawn mower and didn't do much better than the mulcher. I've had to do it in the coffe grinder which took a while but still worked okay.

Still looking for some ideas since I don't think my coffe grinder will last if I keep using it for chewing up bark and leaves.

I have used the same cheap coffee grinder for three years--just the tiny kind with the lid with the button you have to push on top. I just pull apart my bark and twist it by hand, and make sure none of the pieces are too big to get stuck inside.
Some things will come easy, some will be a test
