Have you heard the term “leaf mold” and pictured moldy patches spread under trees in the yard?
Luckily, that’s not the kind of mold that we’re talking about here. Leaf mold is actually a good thing to have and it can really help improve your garden soil.
But where do you get leaf mold? And what exactly is it?
In the video below, Ashley, Soil Scientist from Gardening in Canada gives an in-depth tutorial on how to make your own leaf mold to use in your garden. She also shares important notes on what not to do when using fallen leaves so that you don’t end up depleting nitrogen from your soil.
Happy Planting!
