Turning Over a New Leaf

Borrowed a neighbors yard sweeper the other day to clean up the leaves in the yard and our neighbor on the other side's yard. Got a good haul.

Three truck loads. I got the compost bin topped off, bedded down my three garlic beds, and still had a truckload plus left to put up for later use.

There's more leaves out there in the neighborhood to get up. I'm going to need to work on a winter nitrogen source. Coffee shops and brew pubs here I come. My ability to create my own compost is growing slowly, but steadily.
