Wood Ash for Soil Building

brownrexx · October 21, 2019

Rather that picking up your neighbor's leaves you can do what I did one year. I put a sign at the end of my driveway that said "Bagged Leaves Wanted" and by the end of leaf season I had gotten 84 bags delivered to me!

It was a lot more than I expected but people have to pay for those paper bags and they also have to pay to have them picked up as yard waste so they were thrilled to drop them off at my house.

I ground them up with my mower and roto tilled them into my 2 gardens. I still had lots left over for mulch and compost.
