Turn fallen autumn leaves into leaf mould, a useful material for planting and improving the soil.
Gather the leaves into black bin bags. In the video I add a handful of grass clippings to help the leaves break down. Make a few holes in the bottom of each bag, tie it up and leave it somewhere out of sight.
Check the bags the following autumn, after about a year. Once the leaves have broken down into dark, crumbly leaf mould, use it to improve the soil.
