This morning, while walking Rufus in town, I encountered some homeowners raking their leaves. I offered to help, in return for the leaves. I quickly filled the pickup bed.
The areas that I left covered with last year's leaves did great. No weeds at all, and only sporadic watering. The leaf mulch lasted until now, but is now thinning quite a bit. My goal is to keep those areas maintenance free next year too.
The truckload of leaves made a good start. It's more work than I should be doing, but only once a year.
Some of these areas were too shady fir the perennials I had there, so I removed those to transplant to a sunnier spot.
It needs just a little tidying up, but basically this area is done until this time next year. I'm really pleased this much is done now.
