Many people know that leaves collected in the forest are an excellent solution for a summer cottage.
They can be used in different ways.
Most often, leaves become a component of compost, humus, or are used to create winter shelter for plants or a mulch layer.
Also, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds that forest leaves will be of higher quality and healthier.
How to Properly Collect Leaves in the Forest
First of all, it is important to remember that the weather must be dry for several days: bringing wet plant material to the site is quite risky.
Try to choose leaves that have completely dried out. Such leaves have completely changed their color and structure.
Inspect the plant material for disease. Also, don't be lazy and inspect the tree. If its health is in doubt, then you shouldn't collect the leaves.
Remember that oak leaves can increase the acidity of the soil. But lingonberries will decompose for a long time, so they are an excellent option for creating shelters.
