[quote=Anonymous]I can't believe that things 'can't flower properly' after over wintering with leaves on them . I pile tons of leaves into my garden and over all of my flowers every year and the results are spectacular - I hardly ever fertilize anything but I have wonderful soil and beautiful flowers and bushes (and trees). We are talking strong, vibrant beautiful plants. The process of the leaves breaking down and fertilizing the soil and encouraging beneficial microbe growth is natural. Throwing out the leaves and then running to the hardware for fertilizer next season is not natural and it just enriches the 'Scotts' company or whoever and you are naive to buy into that whole thing,

I also mulch the leaves onto the lawn too. I would never willingly throw out a leaf, never. Do you think that people in the woods and forests show up to take away the leaves ?? Or do you think that in the forests that the leaves are left to naturally rot there every year? Dig up some of the soil in the woods sometime and you'll notice that it's amazingly rich and fertile.
