I received my first leaf order yesterday and a cheap hand shredder. The shredder is 1mm which is pretty coarse. I ran it through twice and thought about doing another pass but was scared it would be to fine.
How many times do you run it through?

Also...can I store my leaves in the plastic bags that they came in...or should I move them into a different container with something to maintain humidity (like a few Boveda packs)
Thanks!

I dry the leaf after processing and store in the original bag. Over the past 6 months I tested 70% Boveda packs to see how long it takes to grow mold, my results are as follows,

70%: Virginia: no mold
Burley: very small amount of mold
Maryland 609: several dime size patches
