Autumn leaves as mulch?
Leaves are fine as mulch if applied correctly. It would be great if you
could mix the leaves with composted wood chips. Mulching - http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/M/mulch.html Troubles in the Rhizosphere http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/RHIZO.html Sincerely, John A. Keslick, Jr. Consulting Tree Biologist www.treedictionary.com and http://home.ccil.org/~treeman Watch out for so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology. Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, tornado's, volcanic eruptions and other abiotic forces keep reminding humans that they are not the boss. "Newbie" wrote in message ... As a new gardener in soon-to-freeze Midwest, I have noticed the following irony: We as well as our neighbors are raking bags upon bags of autumn leaves from the front and back yards and discarding them. At the same time we are buying mulch to protect newly planted perennials during the winter. An obvious question is, could we use those leaves as mulch? I get enough to make as thick a layer as needed? |
