Leaves

Leaves are a great bargain because they are free, and there are a lot of them in the fall! Sometimes it's best if the leaves are chopped up before mixing into the soil. Have an adult help you do this with a lawn mower. This will get you small leave chunks that are easier to mix in and rot faster. Leaves also help to invite worms to your garden.
