!!!2021 UPDATE HERE!!!    • Autumn Leaf Mulch 2021 UPDATE  

Leaf Mulch is one of the best amendments you can do to your soil. No matter whether vegetable garden or flower garden, you need to layer it with leaves!

In this video I cover the basics of leaf mulch, some do's and don'ts, and lay out all the benefits. Then, I will show you in detail exactly what I did to my vegetable garden in the Fall of 2019, and how much it has improved the soil one year later.

This was the absolute best improvement I've ever done to my garden soil. It was easy, and free. My vegetable plants appeared to utilize the broken down leaves from the day they were planted. Although it did take approximately 1 year for all leaves to break down.
