Building Soil Naturally: Leaf Mulch in the Raised Bed Garden
Tips, Tricks
Sure, I could just add some bagged dirt from the local store but where's the fun in that? I want to build naturally rich nutrient dense soil! Leaf mulch is a good way to do that over time. The soil life becomes very active which breaks down the leaves into very rich soil to grow bigger better vegetable. You can do this! Let me show you how...

Your tomatoes are gonna love that leaf mulch!
A couple of years ago, Praxxus55712 showed how to create leaf mould in garage bags. Collect the leaves like you did, then stomp on them to break them up into smaller pieces, add some water to the bag, loosely tie the bag and set it aside in the sun. I did that over a winter and by spring had some fantastic leaf mould/compost to add to my garden. I also found worms in the bags. Don't know where they came from unless it was from worm eggs that got raked up with the leaves. -
Very good method!Good luck Mr.Kirby!

That rooster scared me lol

Thanks again Blake!.....you have some talkative birds, if it's not the geese it's the rooster(s)!
ah, tomato plants.... years ago, no decades actually, my younger brother brought home a tomato plant in a dixie cup. tiny little thing. two diminutive leaves curling up from a stalk no bigger than a piece of fettuccine. Mom thanked Alan profusely and transferred it to the bed under the kitchen window.
Well.
that tiny little plant grew to be maybe 4 feet across and 3 feet high(just an estimate) and yielded up who knows how many tomatoes before mom complained about it crowding out her rose bushes, just goes to show that you can never be certain! also to never underestimate tiny plants in dixie cups.... -
