Collecting Leaf Litter

As October marches on colder temperatures and increased leaf fall mean autumn is well and truly underway. Collect up fallen leaves and store them either in simple metal cages or leaf litter sacks to turn into useful leaf mulch for potting next year. You can store leaves in refuse sacks but be sure to puncture the bags to allow air to circulate. The best leaf litter comes from Beech, Oak and Hornbeam however almost any leaves can be used but may take longer to decompose. ;
