I have an abundance of leaves accumulated over several years, it gets added to yearly at leaf blowing time. I don't have a shredder but most of the leaves are broken down and there's quite a bit of leaf mold as well.
I pile them on tarps and chop as best I can with a shovel, then mulch my garden beds.
I usually use pine needles or bagged mulch for containers, but I don't have any on hand. Straw is hard to find around here, and my leaves are free.
Are there any cons of leaf mulch in containers? I don't want to jeopardize the potting medium and cause potential problems to the plants.
Thanks in advance.
