The decomposition of fallen leaves is a slow process, which often results in leaf burning in small towns and creates challenges for farmers who need nutrients returned to the soil more quickly. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the CelluSynth mulch machine, together with Bacillus subtilis and cellulase, in speeding up leaf decomposition and improving soil fertility. The experiment followed a static group comparison design. Two sets of 200 grams of leaves were used: one processed using CelluSynth and the other placed in a traditional wire mesh setup soaked in water. Both treatments were observed weekly for six weeks. Results showed that CelluSynth-treated mulch reached 97–98% decomposition, while natural decomposition only reached about 60%. It is recommended that the CelluSynth machine be further refined and tested under different organic waste conditions to improve its efficiency and application.
