I, too, find it strange that people throw out their leaves and trimmings and then they go out and buy mulch and growing amendments. Hmmm ...(?) I ask my neighbors for all their leaves and stuff, chop 'em up with my lawn mower, and then pile it thick on all my garden beds for the winter. Now they're all full of big, fat, juicy, soil aerating, earthworms. Time to plant!
OMG, I think I've discovered my people! I too have earned the name "onion lady" from the
local neighborhood people that knowingly gave me permission to take their Home Depot bags off their hands. some have had to be sorted through but I'm sitting pretty with 15 bags of new tree
mulch (down to 11 because I used them around all my newly planted
fruit trees.
I just brought in a zucchini to the house last night and seriously wanted to walk over to each neighbor and say "see this?!?! this is because of your grass, leaves and tree branches. All I did was mix in some ubber crappy soil that was already there and now I have a prized crop that even makes Ron Jeremy (famous porn star for those of you with innocent minds) feel inadequate.
Zucchini video i took of my big whopper!
