This weekend Dadzoo put out a call to the people of our city, asking if anyone had bags of leaves or branches that needed to go to the dump, it being the big spring cleaning time. He got two bites and we piled a few kids in the van and went into town to pick up bags of leaves. While we were stopping at homes to get the leaves we were planning on we also noticed other bags of leaves laying on the curbs. A quick knock at the doors and we acquired several more bags of leaves. So proud of ourselves we filled our 12 passenger van with bags of leaves, bags of free fertility!
The leaves will be used to fill garden boxes, used in sheet mulching, composting and mulching around plants in the garden. Instead of languishing in a landfill they will be used to build something good, to fulfill the measure of their creations.
Are you still in need of branches? We have these junipers were hoping to get rid of if you are interested. Let me know.
