Nick's Tip of the Month
03 November 2009
It is also the season for bonfires and getting rid of all the previous seasons rubbish. Do take care when having a bonfire and make sure that there are no hedgehogs or other animals buried inside about to take their winter hibernation.
Leaves should never be burnt – instead, why not make some leaf mold out of them. This is a superb medium to use when planting and is very easy to make. Simply fill black bin liners with the leaves, pressing them down firmly. When they are full, tie the tops and puncture the sides with a garden fork to allow excess moisture to escape. Then, hide them away in a corner for a year or two.
