VIDEO: Repurposing Leaves for an Easy DIY Mulch Layer ๐Ÿ‚ with Garden Answer

October 28, 2024/in Blog, Fall Gardening, Garden Answer

Follow along with Laura from Garden Answer as she demonstrates how to turn fallen leaves into a powerful soil booster using leaf mulch in her garden beds. She starts by gathering and shredding leaves with her lawn mower, this helps with breaking down the leaves and preventing the formation of a thick mat layer that prevents water and air movement.

Laura adds Espoma Organic Blood Meal to balance the carbon-rich leaves with a nitrogen source, creating an ideal mix for a quick breakdown of the leaves and soil nourishment. A leaf mulch layer can be a natural insulator for delicate plants, shielding them from winter chill and enriching the soil for the next season.
