Rake leaves and actually use them
-
Get them off the lawn, not the garden.
Grass suffocates under wet leaf mats. Beds, in contrast, want the blanket.
-
Mow the thin layers.
Run the mower over light leaf-fall: shredded leaves vanish into the turf as free feed.
-
Blanket the beds.
A hand-thick leaf layer on empty beds and around shrubs is winter mulch and worm food in one.
-
Make leaf mould from the rest.
A wire ring or punctured bags, leaves in, damp, forgotten. In one to two years: the best soil conditioner money cannot buy.
-
Leave one wild corner.
A leaf-and-stick pile in a quiet spot houses the hedgehogs and beetles that eat next year’s pests.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
