leaves, lawn clippings and other plant material in a six-to-eight inch layer. Apply one cup of ground limestone and one cup of 6-10-5 fertilizer per square yard of litter and cover it with about one-half inch of soil.
Make as many layers as necessary to use the leaves you have. Leave the pile hollow on top to collect rain and supply the necessary moisture.
Decomposition will proceed very slowly during the winter, but will be quite rapid next spring. Turn the pile over during the early summer and it should be ready to use by midsummer.
Regardless of how you use this valuable resource, be sure to keep your leaves raked so they will not accumulate on the lawn. A pile of wet leaves will smother the grass and cause bare spots next summer.
