Still trying to figure out the easiest, cheapest, most organic ways of amending the heavy soil in my beds without disturbing perennials.
I'm planning on putting on a good layer of leaf mulch for the winter, supplied free of charge by the overhanging white ash. Come spring, I'd like to just leave it and let the earthworms incorporate it into the soil. I thought that applying another layer of compost or composted manure on top of the leaves might be a good idea to prevent pests from using the leaves as a breeding ground.
Does this sound like a good plan or am I missing something important here?
In the meanwhile, the worms are already having a ball pulling the leaves into the ground. I think it's so funny when I come out in the morning and find dry leaves pulled half-way into worm tunnels.
