The Urban Farmer's Almanac

My dad has been at this farming business a lot longer than me, so when he says something, it’s usually because he has screwed something up in the past and learned his lesson. So when I told him about how we were mulching our garden beds, he said that he likes to run the lawn mower over his leaves before putting them on the garden for mulch. So I’m doing a comparison test on the back garden bed — just like in the front beds, I’m putting down leaves and coffee grounds, and then covering it with burlap for the winter. But this time I chopped up the leaves with the lawn mower. So we’ll know for next year what the best method is.
