Leaf Composting Timeline and Method

Question From: K. Alessandro - MICHIGAN
Q: re leaf composting story. Will it compost in time to use this fall? Would you add leaf mold to lawn or to beds? Thank you in advance for your attention to this request.

A:

Depending on how you treat it, it can take up to a year. That's why I add a layer of fresh shredded leaves to my bed this fall. I use leaf mold on the gardens. Leaves are mowed into the lawns. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
