Today I collected another truckload of maple and liquidamber leaves from a complete stranger's yard. I had permission.
I spread these about 6 inches deep, in the meditation garden / border. The remaining leaves from last year were almost gone. The did an excellent job keeping weeds away, The soil there has wonderful tilth from two years so far of thick leaf mulch. This area has lots of bulbs under ground, a growing forsythia hedge, Itoh peony, lavender, rosemary, sage, thyme, rhubarb, and some other perennials. Now that area is ready for winter and next year.
I'm estimating I'll need about five more truckloads, based on what it took to cover this area.
