Thanks but I have to work at it. I buy compost by the truck full. And if I didn't have my extra thick carpet of leaves I would need even more compost.

I used to go around and collect bagged leaves from the curb in my neighborhood. And I still do that but I need so many leaves that lately I have the guy that does my lawn mowing bring me leaves by the truck full that he has collected from his landscape business. You should see the pile in my driveway right after the dumping. Humongous!! And all of it gets spread about the garden beds including the veggie beds. I put it on as thick as I can so that there is a lot to break down.

The worms love it and that of course is very good for the soil.
