I have an area that currently has no grass that I want to plant. The problem is that the area has years worth of maple leaves. It also had a lot of small brush that I already cut down. The area is heavily shaded. I am planning on trimming some of the trees but the area will still be mostly shade. The area is also wet during the spring but does dry out come summer. I live in the Portland Maine area. Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated.
Till the leaves into the soil?
Plant a ground cover for a season?
Remove the leaves?
Cry Uncle?
Thanks in advance.
