Lawn Mower ~
I think my gardens ready for its "winter-slumber" ...
but a quick question ... My neighbors trees (an Oak & a Maple) litter my yard with leaves every fall ... instead of bagging them up and having the town haul them away ... A quick question: Could I rake these leaves into piles ; mow them ; and use as a mulch on the top of the garden to "protect" my soil during winter ? Would the decomposing leaves change the PH of my soil ? Would I rake them off come spring ? Any help would be great ~ ~ Tom
