We use a lot of leaves for mulching and for incorporating into our clay-based soil to add organic matter. However, even though we have some large trees west of the house, most of the leaves that fall off them blow away. Remember our name....Windy Acres! Therefore, we have to get the leaves elsewhere.
During the fall, Tom keeps an eye out for leaves that people set out for the trashmen and will pick them up and bring them home when he finds some. Here is a picture of what we have accumulated so far in our "leaf bank".
I suspect that by spring this pile will be 2 - 3 times as big!
