Don't Rake and
Burn Dead Leaves |
RAKING AND BURNING leaves is a bad ‘thing to do considering the trying times, we learned with considerable glee today. "There ‘is a’ fertilizer: shortage, according to Horace E. Abbott, county agent, because nitrogen is being used for explosives. And “for ‘this redson, if no’ other, you should use leaves for. fertilizer. ' Bpread them out on your garden or lawn and’ let them rot during the winter. Or make a “compost pile”—assemble them in ‘one place, ‘that. is—and’ then after they've rotted, spread them orm the ga den next spring. A little raking of the lawn is a good thing, we learned, but should not be carried too far. Wonderful, isn't it?
