Autumn
Well, it’s well and truly Autumn; the leaves are falling and accumulating. This is pure gold for your garden!
Why not pop out and buy a compost bin or two for your garden. Rake up all of the leaves and put them into the bins with the lawn clippings and kitchen scraps.
Really keen gardeners (like me) will go out in the streets with a broom, fork and barrow to collect the leaves in the gutters. These are the leaves that leaf-blower people blow out there to clog the road drains and pollute the local rivers.
So you will be helping your local environment if you collect street leaves and your garden will benefit enormously.
Remember also that a few handfuls of garden soil on each layer in the compost heap will help the process enormously.
Collect leaves!
Hooroo, Don
