It's time for holidays, houseplants and plans for next year's garden.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472642679947517392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-7548704150607681332009-11-27T03:30:28.155-05:002009-11-27T03:30:28.155-05:00I agree with everyone of your reasons for not join...I agree with everyone of your reasons for not joining the "leaf it be" movement. <br /><br />We are finally finished with all of our outdoor work for the season.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-20571420819500561632009-11-24T15:04:01.593-05:002009-11-24T15:04:01.593-05:00Maria Cecelia,

And as you have so many, part of them will be in the compost bin for great spring soil nutrient. I do the same, remove them and take them to the compost bin, others, in the hill, specially under Litre trees I just left them there to naturally decompose. Litre soil is so good and we use it a lot here in Chile.<br />Muchos cariños and have a great week.<br />María Ceciliamaría ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077079753889048800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-48107929684736645682009-11-24T08:18:26.010-05:002009-11-24T08:18:26.010-05:00MG,

We'll be outside to finish raking today.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472642679947517392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-85261572286144169922009-11-23T17:39:18.119-05:002009-11-23T17:39:18.119-05:00I think your reasons are valid for raking.

Plus, there is nothing quite so satisfying for a child as sailing into a pile of leaves--Loudon has been having a wonderful time rolling in the leaves this fall. I think as long as those leaves don't end up in the landfill, let the city have 'em! Where my mother lives, they rake them onto the street, and a big vacumn comes along and sucks them up and makes mulch and compost from them. What a great idea!Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-67235847089417696542009-11-23T08:01:47.704-05:002009-11-23T08:01:47.704-05:00Kathy,
