Good morning, everyone. Busy day at the community garden moving/dumping bags of leaves we've been saving for the garden. Neighbor complained to the city, city issued a citation to clean up the 'trash'. The bags of leaves did blow away in the horrific winds, were recovered, so now we need to work. We did some yesterday before the sun set. Lots more to do.......

Have an enjoyable day. My coffee will be delayed for a bit. Work comes first.

Happy Saturday!
 
Good morning, everyone. A good frosty morning.

The community garden looks a bit more organized with it's bags of leaves, but will it be OK for the city? Does anyone else use lots of leaves in their gardens? We have clay soil that seems to improve with the addition of these shredded leaves. Who knows?

A typical Sunday ahead, and looking for a bit of snow tonight. Funny story - a friend's daughter went skiing last weekend, first time in Colorado. Halfway down the slope she stopped to check out how much snow had really fallen. She sank up to her neck and couldn't move! Said she had to swim to a tree to get out of the snow. Smart gal left her gear on the slope and had to wait for someone to retrieve it!

Enjoy the day and share the smiles.

Jane, leaves are great. I have the same soil as you over on the Western Slope. Last year was my first year growing anything in it. I tilled and tilled. I then added compost horse manure, compost wood chips, and composted leaves. Tilled it all up again. I made rows and was careful not to compact the soil. I then dug 12x12 holes where the plants were to be planted. Added some home made potting mix and a cup of organic fertilizer. Mixed it up and planted. Plants did amazing. Was surprised. At the end of the year the rows were still not compacted. I tilled everything in, plus recycled a bunch of three year old potting soil. This year I will add more wood chips and compost. I'll do the same with the hole of potting mix. I bought a old composting shredder from the 60's. It shreds everything, even used topsoil. Devi (Scott) started out with sand. He added leaves for the past year and has the best topsoil. He said he would rather if had clay than sand. Clay is not that bad it does have a bunch of goodies in it. Just needs a little work. Plus you don't have to water a bunch.
