Using Fall Leaves

Don't throw those leaves away! Seriously. Did you know that you can mulch your leaves (I mow them up with my lawn mower), dump them on my garden, cover with a little grass clippings/soil/manure/compost and then sprinkle with nitrogen to begin the process of decomposing. This way your leaves aren't going to waste. The nutrients just go back into the garden and you are ready to plant in the spring. Happy Fall!
