Autumn Leaves

Rather than bagging your leaves for the municipality to dispose of, why not make them work for your garden.

Fall leaves (especially shredded) are a valuable source of  “brown”, high-carbon material for compost and garden mulch.   Simply mowing them will provide your lawns’ soil with nutrients. Hoarding a bag or two in your shed over winter will give your Spring composting a head start.
