Did you know that one of the best things you can do for your garden this winter is to leave the debris alone? ➡️
🍁 That’s right, by letting organic matter decompose in your garden, you’re naturally replenishing the nutrients in your soil.
🍂 Winter is the perfect time to do this since you don’t need to clear away the debris in order to grow plants.
⛅ What counts as decomposing organic matter?
🍁 Everything from fallen leaves and flowers to sticks, lawn clippings, dead plants, and more.
🍂 Aaron’s pro tip is to use a lawn mower to break organic matter up into smaller pieces.
⛅ Why? Simply that little bits of organic matter decompose faster than larger chunks.
