thanks foe the tips.. I too am going yo use my mulch mower and dump my mower bag over my beds..i also will cover them with the black plastic mulch i never used this season.. (from the dollar store a buck a piece 4x8 feet) i have a half dozen , more than enough to cover the leaves to accelerate composting.. I want to test my soil with this capsule kit again beforehand.. so I get an idea about my soil ph to compare in the spring too. thanks for the replies! oh forgot to mention,,going to use a recommended dosage of soil acidifier i bought this early spring to lower soil ph too ( it lab tested high 7.4 ) i will sprinkle the rest pn two the beds that don't favor tomato plants
