Tidy up the leaves

With the winds threatening to bring all the leaves down you’ll have to start thinking about clearing them up. It’s well worth putting them in a separate leaf container to rot down. Leaves take longer than normal weeds so it’s best to compost them on their own and leave for a couple of years.
Clear up using a rake and some leaf pickers that make scouping them up easier.
Leaves are slippy when they rot so it’s a good idea to clear them off pathways and drives.
