If you have trees in or around your garden, you’ll find yourself with a mass of leaves to deal with once the glorious autumn show of colour is over. Fallen leaves are often viewed as a nuisance, making paths slippery, clogging ponds, carpeting lawns or creating damp piles outside your door that blow inside every time you open it. It can be back-breaking to rake and clear, eating into valuable weekend time over the coming months. However, you can make great use of the leaves – consider them as a valuable gift from Mother Nature and one of the very best sources of organic matter to boot.
