Lawn Mower ~
I think my gardens ready for its "winter-slumber" ...
but a quick question ...
My neighbors trees (an Oak & a Maple) litter my yard with leaves every fall ... instead of bagging them up and having the town haul them away ...
A quick question:
Could I rake these leaves into piles ; mow them ; and use as a mulch on the top of the garden to "protect" my soil during winter ?
Would the decomposing leaves change the PH of my soil ?
Would I rake them off come spring ?
Any help would be great ~
