  • Love the leaves 🍁 episode!

    You can also layer leaves on cardboard sheets and start a No dig garden the following spring. The leaves will have broken down and you can put compost over them and start a garden. Leaves save my wrists and back from having to till or dig. This was the best interview! Thanks.🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁💕🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🌱
