Today I raked red maple leaves and spread them on the Music and Lorz garlic bed.
Before spreading the leaves, I scattered coffee grounds on the surface. I usually throw the paper filters into the compost, but why? They are just wood cellulose, which is most of what is in the leaves. So I laid the coffee filters on the ground before spreading leaves on top, so they would not look untidy.
This year, I kept the leaf mulch on the garlic bed until harvest. That meant, zero weeds. Great garlic crop, too.
