  1. I don't use raised beds, so I just spread the fallen leafs all over the garden before plowing. Because my trees are still small, I also collect dead leafs from a couple of neighbors who are happy to get rid of them for free. Best natural fertilizer.

  2. One of the BEST ways to minimize cost and fill a brand new raised bed is to fill with 50% dead leaves and then top with soil. By the time the plants put down deeper roots, the soil is ready. This can also be done during the fallow season. Turn soil before planting.

  3. You always make sense on all the nonsense…hahahahaha…thank you cause i have some many many leaves every fall…this video has really help me beyond belief..Thank you once again…

  4. I only "rake" with my mower! Except up close to the chain link fence, then I rake with a match. 😳

  5. I have a huge area on my farm that for years I’ve filled with leaves, grass clippings, corn shucks, tea bags, coffee grounds, garden scraps, egg shells, and other goodies go in. The chickens and ducks keep it turned. I’ve found the best fishing worms in there.

  6. Here in Florida the soil is pure sand. I've been composting oak leaves for years. It only takes about 6 months for them to break down to dirt with all this humidity and hot weather. Best soil ever. Black, rich even smells like great soil. Add some organic alfalfa pellets and some compost and it's like magic.
    Don't fill your pots, I use 17 gallon tubs to garden in, with leaves. It takes longer to break down and when they do the container you put the leaves in and filled to the brim with dirt will look half full and you have to add more dirt. I made the mistake of doing this with a fruit tree. Ever try to repot a 7 foot tall orange tree. (Hint it's not fun)
    That being said, I have learned some things from you and other things you have done has reinforced things I have been doing for years. I appreciate your channel a lot. Thank you sir for your showing how to do things on the cheap and not becoming infomercials for junk that we don't need like so many gardening channels have.

  7. I mulch with shredded leaves during growing season then turn them in at the end of season. Once the fall leaves cover the ground I mulch the beds again til spring. I pull them back and plant and top up any thin areas. Then repeat each year. The smaller you chop them the faster they break down.

  8. WADR, Jag, I learned that turning the dead leaves under soil depletes the soil of nitrogen. I suggest leaving leaves on surface to maintain soil nitrogen. Otherwise, great video. Thanks!

  9. dead leaves carry disease and provide a habitat for pests. the only way to provide some benefit to soil is to properly compost tonnes of leaves, to get a small quantity of finished product. that's hardly free, even if the raw material is technically free.
    this is the kind of utopian time wasting that organic camp keeps dazzling gardeners with.
    the best thing i did is get rid of my huge compost bays. now i just grow vegetables, instead of fairy dust.
