As the mercury starts to dip across Lincolnshire, advice is being given to local gardening enthusiasts, urging them to collect and store fallen leaves. This straightforward task can have a significant positive impact on gardens during the harsh winter months. Gardeners can use these leaves for mulching or include them in their compost heaps, which can improve soil quality, enhance moisture retention, and shield plant roots from frost damage. Not only does this process foster healthier gardens, but it also lessens waste, thus contributing to a eco-friendlier local environment.
