With cooler weather comes the anticipated event of the year: the dropping of the oak leaves. Sharing one of my favorite articles about using oak leaves as mulch (why buy when it falls free into your yard?). And also, if you do rake up your leaves, we can use them in our compost /soil making at the garden. Please feel free to drop them off outside the garden or right inside by the picnic table.
