Natural Gardening Tip #4
I hope by now you have got some good ideas on how to make your own garden much more natural using my tips. In todays tip which is the fourth tip I am going to be talking about leaf mould and how it can benefit your garden.
Leaf mould is often used as a mulch or replacement to using peat or compost. Leaf mould is made from the autumn leaves that have fallen and decayed and made a bulky, rich soil conditioner.
You basically make leaf mould by collecting the autumn leaves. These leaves are gathered and placed in a large plastic bag, this leaves within the bag are watered and placed somewhere where they can be kept for 6-8 months where they will decay and produce perfect leaf mould.
The leaf mould can be used as a soil conditioner or as mulch.
