Ep. 22: Benefits of Fallen Leaves for Plants and Your Yard

Now that spooky season is over, the Flora Fellas discuss what to do with the fallen leaves in your yard as we move further into the fall and winter seasons, as well as the many benefits of incorporating leftover Halloween pumpkins into your garden. The pair describes how leaf litter is an essential part of the back yard ecosystem, how it can be a great insulator for plants through winter, and even a few types of leaves that might do more harm than good in the garden space. Tune in for some additional tips about fall pruning and winter watering (yes, its a thing!) Enjoy!
