I have no need to clean up. There is nothing to clean up.
In the Fall after every thing is dead the leaves come down from the tree and cover the bed. In the Spring my beds are covered with leaves. I have spring bulbs that come up then all the plants come up. When the hostas and everything fills in there is no ground showing.
Here is a pic of Spring. You can see a little of the ground. Behind the hosta and the Herc is a daffodil. You can see on the ground is the leaf mold.
This is what it looks like in the winter.
This is Spring. Everything covering the ground no need for cleanup. No weeds all summer. Just needs water.
