Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.
"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf

I'd put that and my fall leaves from the yard on and till it all in. By spring it was all composted on it's own and ready to plant in. Beware that red clay will eat all the organic matter you can feed it and come back for more.
