Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - 100% leaf mulch this year

I have a copy of "Manual of Organic Materials" from Organic Gardening 1947 - it suggests, and I quote:

"Despite the relatively high calcium content of most leaves, calcium must be added to leaf compost in order to balance the acidity and produce a neutral reaction for garden vegetables and the majority of the flowering annuals."
