[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always raked them into flower beds as mulch when I was a child, so kept on doing that even in the dc area. Our neighbors seem to hate it, but we have so many birds and fireflies in our yard![/quote] Martha Stewart has a new book out, a collection of her “Good Things” and one of the suggestions in it is to bag up leaves in a jute bag (or plastic with a few holes), spray the leaves with water and set them in a shady location. They “melt” down into mulch by the next spring. I would love to have leaves in my flower beds providing some cover for the bare soil (I still have some bare spots, my bad), but too many seem to blow away. I might try this idea. [/quote]
