Fall has come and will soon give way to winter. Fall has provided a spectacular array of colors and many souls have taken the trek into the high country to capture a view of changing Aspen and other foliage. Tons of leaves are shed by trees every year. We rake and place them into bags only to have them hauled away to landfills then spend money the following season for fertilizer when we could have used what was given to us by nature. Use these fallen bits of treasure to make compost! Leaves will break down creating nutrients for your soil. I prefer waiting until most leaves have fallen then scatter them on flower beds and over the winter they will break down adding nutrients to your soil supporting another season of beauty. Cheers
