Or shall I wait for his last visit, the winter clean up, and the top dress so that my lawn can wait out the season, with snow & the elements helping it to really sink in?

Thank you for the efforts to educate a new generation to the ins and outs of gardening. We as a species have lost so much precious, hard learned, centuries old knowledge of gardening in the past 100 years. There is a revolution of “back to the soil” instructors emerging, thank you for answering the call! And you are lovely women at that! Gardening is where our solutions for the future are and I am finding many here! Thanks! 🙂 Larry 🙂

HI Ian - Thanks for your message. I rake the leaves from my lawn, but leave them in all of my garden beds for the winter. I then do my clean up in the spring, when the temperatures reach the 50s and most of the overwintering insects have emerged. Even if the leaves are fairly thick, they will not harm the plants for the few months they're in place. For more reasons why you should skip the fall clean up, check out this article: https://farm-kits.com/6-reasons-not-to-clean-up-your-garden-this-fall/ Thanks! J.]]> In reply to Ian Edward Williams.

Very very interesting points I have not considered. I wanted to ask about cleaning up leaves in fall
?… That’s all good eh? Leaving Perennials makes sense. Sadly I have been reeking havoc for the last 9 years and never even knew! In regards to fall cleaning at least. Otherwise
I like to believe I’m in the Gaia Harmony.
