That crispness that only begins to appear as October moves into November? Maybe you notice that the lush green of your shrubs and trees transform into the most vibrant reds, browns, and yellows. It\u2019s leafmould season.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, autumn is a sign that the summer is over. But there&#8217;s definitely a pay-off as the nights draw in and the temperature drops: the colours of autumn are a sight to behold.<\/p>\n<p>However, leaves on your lawn is a BIG no-no. If you leave them to decompose over the winter, you&#8217;ll find that most of your grass will have died come spring.<\/p>\n<p>So, dust off that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/product\/telescopic-leaf-rake\/\">trusty rake<\/a>, and gather the leaves. But don\u2019t instantly chuck them in the compost heap. Leafmould is a valuable mulch and an excellent soil improver. This article explains how to make it and what to do with it once you\u2019ve created that lovely, crumbly, nutritious soil.<\/p>\n<h2>What is mulch?<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6607\" src=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/maddy-baker-hcPoBd-sEQ0-unsplash-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Mulch around a new seedling\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\">\n<p>Mulch is a layer you place over the surface of your soil. It can be organic matter, such as fallen leaves, leafmould, or chipped barked. Or your can buy manufactured &#8220;fleece\u201d or plastic lining that keeps the earth warm.<\/p>\n<p>Mulching minimises weeds &#8211; for precisely the reason you DON&#8217;T want to leave leaves on your lawn (there&#8217;s a tongue twister for you!). The mulch layer creates a barrier between the sunlight and the soil, which can suffocate your lawn.<\/p>\n<p>But a mulch layer is excellent for your flowerbeds, with a variety of benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conserves soil moisture<\/li>\n<li>Improves fertility and soil health<\/li>\n<li>Minimises weed growth<\/li>\n<li>Keeps the soil warmer during the winter (and cooler in the spring)<\/li>\n<li>Protects your plants from frost<\/li>\n<li>Enhances visual appeal around your plants and shrubs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can just rake any fallen leaves into your flowerbeds, and it will happily decompose over time while protecting and feeding your plants. But it can look a little scruffy, so you could &#8211; alternatively &#8211; gather your leaves together and create Leafmould.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Leafmould?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5641\" src=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rasendungen-moowy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Leafmould\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/p>\n<p>Leafmould (aka leafmold) is often referred to as \u201cGardener\u2019s Gold\u201d. Dug into your veg patch or flowerbed, it improves soil structure; spread over your soil, it makes a nutrient-rich mulch; or you can even use it in the spring as potting soil mix.<\/p>\n<p>Leafmould forms from decomposed leaves and acts as an excellent soil conditioner. If your earth is on the heavier side, leafmould lightens it up and adds drainage. But if your soil is sandy and fine, leafmould adds structure, helping the soil retain its moisture.<\/p>\n<p>Leafmould is made from the leaves of deciduous trees &#8211; in other words, trees that drop their leaves in the autumn. Most evergreen leaves aren\u2019t suitable for leafmould (but are good for the compost heap).<\/p>\n<p>Fallen autumn leaves have a low nitrogen content and are generally fairly dry, meaning that it takes longer for them to break down than standard compost. This nutritious compound comes about as a result of slow, bacterial decomposition, making a wonderful growing medium for young plants, a great soil conditioner, and excellent mulch.<\/p>\n<h2>How to create your own Leafmould<\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, rake up your leaves and gather them together in a cage (see \u201cHow to Build A Leafmould Cage\u201d below). You can use a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/product\/telescopic-leaf-rake\/\">traditional garden rake<\/a> or a leaf blower (on mulch mode) which sucks rather than blows (and gathers the leaves into a bag attachment).<\/p>\n<p>Any fallen leaves are suitable for Leafmould, although thicker leaves (i.e., horse-chestnut) take longer to break down. Tougher, evergreen leaves are more suited to the compost heap. Pine needles make an excellent acidic leafmould, suitable for placing around ericaceous plants, such as rhododendrons and blueberries.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid leaves from the following trees and shrubs, as they contain the wrong chemical composition for Leafmould:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walnut<\/li>\n<li>Eucalyptus<\/li>\n<li>Camphor and cherry laurel<\/li>\n<li>Leylandii<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Gather your leaves for leafmould<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8099\" src=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Garden-rake-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Garden rake\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\">\n<p>Of course, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moowy.co.uk\/product\/telescopic-leaf-rake\/\">rake your leaves<\/a> from your lawn, but you can also collect them from wherever they land in your garden. Don\u2019t forget paths and guttering; you really don\u2019t want leaves to collect in your gutters!<\/p>\n<p>Avoid leaves from the street, however, as there\u2019s a chance they may have been polluted from passing traffic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post__quote quote\">\n<div class=\"quote-text\">\n<h4>TOP TIP: Run your lawn mower at its highest setting, and let it suck up the leaves. The blades will chop them up, and they will decompose more quickly!<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How to Build a Leafmould Cage<\/h2>\n<p>Leaves will break down more quickly in a ventilated cage. It\u2019s easy to make one for yourself:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hammer four small posts into the ground.<\/li>\n<li>Attach chicken wire around the four posts, creating a small enclosure.<\/li>\n<li>Fill with your leaves!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Simple!<\/p>\n<p>If the leaves are dry, give them a brief watering, and check every few months for dry areas. Turn the leaves over with a garden fork now and then to keep them moist.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, an even easier way to create a little leafmould factory is to gather your leaves in sturdy black plastic bags:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gather your leaves, and press them down, so the bags are well filled,<\/li>\n<li>Tie up the ends of the bag.<\/li>\n<li>Use your garden fork to create several air holes in the plastic (to stop the leaves from turning into a revolting, stinky soup!).<\/li>\n<li>And leave them somewhere in your garden, where they&#8217;re unlikely to be disturbed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How long does it take to make Leafmould?<\/h2>\n<p>Leafmould takes longer than composting because it relies on fungal decomposition. It generally takes around two-three years for the best outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid topping up your leafmould cage as you&#8217;ll disturb the decomposition. Some people have two leafmould cages for rotation. Once you&#8217;re going, you&#8217;ll have Leafmould every year for your flowerbeds and veg patch.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I know my Leafmould is ready?<\/h2>\n<p>Leafmould should have a lovely, crumbly consistency. It will look like stone-free standard earth but will be a little darker in tone.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, it should be ready in two years. But it\u2019s even better after three, so if you have the patience, it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>If there are lumps and stones in your Leafmould, you could sieve it, leaving a lovely, fine potting soil. It makes a wonderfully nutritious growing compound for seeds and young potted plants when mixed with weed-free garden soil.<\/p>\n<h2>What do I do with leafmould?<\/h2>\n<p>Leaf mould is excellent for improving the structure of your soil. If you have heavy clay soil, Leafmould helps &#8220;lighten&#8221; the heaviness, improving the drainage. If you have sandy soil, Leafmould adds structure that helps maintain moisture.<\/p>\n<p>Lay a thick layer of the Leafmould over the top of your soil and dig it in.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t wait for complete decomposition, you can use young Leafmould as mulch, helping suppress weeds in your flowerbeds and around your veg. Add between 3-5cm on the top layer of the soil, around the base of your plants &#8211; don&#8217;t dig it in.<\/p>\n<h4>Ready to mulch?<\/h4>\n<p>So next time you ask yourself \u201cwhat do I do with autumn leaves?\u201d give a thought to starting your very own leafmould factory.<\/p>\n<p>And if you have any questions about leadmould (or about anything lawn and garden-related), we\u2019d love to hear from you. Get in touch, and we\u2019ll be happy to help.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t just chuck your fallen leaves into the compost.
