City Collecting Leaves

leafmap Those working working to free their suffocating lawns from leaves this past weekend will be glad to know that the City of Raleigh has already begun their annual leaf collection route. For a couple of weeks the city has been working on Zone G, but began Zone A today. They will proceed clockwise, by zone, around the city over the ensuing month. Because collections were light in Zone G, the city is going to attempt to resweep that zone before Christmas. The city will make two collections in each zone before the latter part of the winter.

    Just a thought for all those with leafs out there. NC State introduced me to the concept of a lasagna garden where you put down newspaper, wet it, place cardboard on top of the newsprint, and then your leaves on top of the cardboard to feed, prep, and keep the soil clear for next year’s garden. I used every bit of my leaves to feed my garden. I had to pull the tape of the cardboard boxes I broke down. All in all, I am very happy with it. It will save me fertilizer by bringing more organic matter to the soil, plus I don’t have a gas burning truck carrying my leaves miles away so the city can compost them.
