So I recently reached out to my county about their leaf drop services and boy how they’ve come through! I’ve got no idea how much they’ve brought me this so far but still got a month left of them cleaning up the leaves from the city so I’ll probably double what I have now atleast.

I’ve been spreading them in the garden in hopes of smothering weeds, daikon cover crop and bare spots to prevent erosion. I plan on composing all I can and leaving the rest in piles for leaf mold and later mulch and compost applications. I’ll have a small vermiculture tower I’ll use them in. Maybe I’ll make a large scale one. But I’ll be using them in my hugelkultur mounds and so on.

I figured y’all would get a kick out of it and honestly I was looking for anything else I could use them for. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

I did not know there was such a service.

That is a great score!
