@gardenersworldmag: Before you sweep up those autumn leaves… 🍂✋ They might look like another October job to deal with, but fallen leaves are a fantastic free resource from your garden. GW's Editorial Director Kevin Smith has three ideas for putting them to work: turn them into leafmould to use as a soil conditioner, leave a pile somewhere sheltered to give beetles and other invertebrates a place to hide – or get a little more creative with them. We’re keeping that last one under wraps. 👀 Head to the BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine YouTube channel to discover Kevin’s third idea, plus advice on how to make leafmould and more inspiration for getting your garden looking great this October.
