Default leaf mould

I remember Bob Flowerdew saying to put your leaves in plastic bags and
forget them for a couple of years. I found my bags this week behind
the shed, full of lovely leaf mould.

Now, anyone know why I did this? What is the stuff for?

Thanks

Use it to mulch around plants, esp. moisture-loving woodland plants, but
anything that would appreciate a yummy duvet over the winter. Otherwise,
add it your potting mix.


Yes excellant peat substitute. Used to be used generally before peat use
became general.
