It’s that time of year to collect more leaves! Rachel discusses our leaf mulch production and takes a look at how last year’s mulch is doing 12 months on. It takes around 2 years to produce leaf mulch suitable for making peat free potting compost.
At Don’t Crop Me Now we have 500sq.m of space comprising 1 full plot and 2 halves and follow a ‘No Dig’ method in raised beds. We grow a wide range of fruit, veg and flowers which supply our kitchen all year round. We are not fully self-sufficient, but we shop very rarely.

Hi, I do the same and it will be spot on next year. Cover the bags to help the fungal activity and micro bugs to keep warm and safe over winter it really does help just keep an eye on the moisture level. Happy growing and all the best
