Today, since fall is well upon us, we are going to discuss the disposal of leaves. Many people I have noticed bag them up and send them off to the landfill. What a waste.
Leaves are at their best when raked into the garden. They help protect perennials from winter freezing. In the spring just rake them away gently and put them in the mulch bin.
If you have too many leaves for coverage in your garden, the extra can be put in the mulch bin, they will turn into that gold called leaf mold. In the spring use it to mulch your roses, perennial hibiscus, well, everything, for that matter.
This is a series of money saving ideas, and tips for gardeners. I will relate them as they occur in my own perennial beds. When winter arrives I will move indoors and talk about houseplants and the chores related to them. Hope you all enjoy.
