We leave our leaves in the beds and plant foliage (bulbs)that peirce through the leaf cover. We also mulch over the leaves to hold them in place. We only remove leaves from walks and lawns. If we make new beds we use leaves to smother the soil. Just think of nature. Are there a bunch of garden elves with pack blowers out in the natural settings?

I have long heard about Montgomery County's mulch program but I live in DC. Can you recommend a good source for mulch? Thanks, Denise This is terrific information and very timely.
