Cooler nights, brisk winds and shorter days trigger deciduous plants to begin their fall color change and the inevitable leaf drop that follows. Homeowners respond with rakes, blowers and plastic bags.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stop! Leaves aren\u2019t litter. They are one of nature\u2019s most valuable resources. Fallen leaves create a natural mulch layer that protects and nourishes the soil. A light layer of shredded leaves helps regulate soil temperature, reduce water evaporation and suppress weeds. As they break down, leaves release valuable nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium \u2014 natural fertilizers that feed plants and improve soil structure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The bagging habit developed, in part, from a fear of smothering lawn grass. The alternate solution is to use a mower to mulch the leaves into small pieces that can sift down into the turf where they quickly decompose. Over time, this organic matter helps to loosen compacted soils, allows roots to breath and water to infiltrate better. Texas AgriLife Extension studies show that this simple practice improves soil health and lessens the need for chemical fertilizers. Have an abundance of shredded leaves? Throw them into landscape beds as mulch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Healthy soil is teaming with beneficial organisms ranging from bacteria and fungi to earthworms and beetles. These natural \u201cdecomposers\u201d feed on leaf litter and convert it into humus, which is the rich, dark soil that gardeners love. When you leave leaves on the ground, you not only feed your plants, but also feed the tiny organisms that keep your landscape alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bagging leaves removes a free source of organic matter that can be turned into compost. Leaves can be mixed with green materials like grass clippings and vegetable scraps as ingredients in a compost pile. Composting is a simple way to create a homemade nutrient-dense soil amendment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fallen leaves also create habitat for wildlife. Many native pollinators overwinter in leaf litter. Some beneficial insects, toads and small mammals use leaf piles for shelter and cold protection. By keeping leaves in your garden beds, you will provide a haven for the creatures that help to control pests and pollinate flowers \u2014 a small, but powerful act of environmental stewardship!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A nice layer of leaves atop the soil also protects bare areas from erosion. Bare soil is vulnerable to gusty winds and heavy rains. Leaf cover acts as a natural shield. Rainfall hitting leaves is more likely to soak in instead of running off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With leaf litter in beds and on lawns, your landscape emulates a forest\u2019s self-sustaining ecosystem. It cycles nutrients, retains moisture and resists weeds. Tree roots absorb the nutrients released from their fallen foliage. Over time, this reduces the need for fertilizers, improves drought resilience and promotes balanced, long-term growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let leaves lie and then put them to good use. It is a smart, sustainable approach that suits plants, animals and lazy gardeners!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Written and Photographed by LGMG Phyllis Webster<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_1_tb_body  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_post_content et_pb_post_content_0_tb_body\">\n<div class=\"et-l et-l--post\">\n<div class=\"et_builder_inner_content et_pb_gutters3\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_section et_pb_section_0 et_section_regular\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/divi:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn arrives late in North Central Texas, but plants react quickly to the subtle weather changes.

It\u2019s attractive, yet functional. For example, a pocket garden can provide edibles, such as herbs, vegetables and fruit. It may serve as an alternative landscape that replaces thirsty turfgrass.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Or it could benefit the local ecosystem by providing food and nectar for pollinators.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Pocket gardens are much more than a design technique for small spaces. They sometimes occupy a niche in an even larger garden or landscape. The concept is simple; plants may be added in small, unexpected ways and tucked into almost any space. Pocket gardens generally serve a specific purpose and the plants in the space must serve that purpose. Examples include lining a sidewalk, hiding utility boxes or attracting hummingbirds.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Pocket gardens allow gardeners to brighten underutilized or spare spaces with pops of color and texture. For instance, planting flowers instead of grass in the \u201chell strip,\u201d which is the overheated narrow space that runs between a sidewalk and the street.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Just like any other garden space, a pocket garden may include containerized plants, creative accessories, lighting, water features or hardscape elements, such as walkways. Included elements should be sized appropriately to the garden\u2019s scale. The idea is to enhance and support the garden, not to overpower it.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Countrywide, pocket gardens are being increasingly utilized by homeowners in neighborhoods with small lots where the front yards are valued real estate worth reclaiming. They are also a notable trend in towns with tight water restrictions. These waterwise gardens are often planted with native plants including wildflowers, ornamental grasses and perennials.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Pollinator gardens are also in demand, but homeowners often struggle to find the right place for nectar and host plants in the typical lawn and foundation style landscape. Pocket gardens are the perfect solution to this dilemma. To start, carve out a small section of lawn and replace it with milkweed, native perennials and nectar-producing annuals. You may accomplish this by extending an existing foundation bed, adding a \u201cfloating island\u201d or expanding an existing mulched bed that surrounds trees\/shrubs.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">A kitchen garden is suitable for pocket gardening. First, identify an unused area easily accessed from the kitchen. Create a square foot garden (2x2, 4x4, etc.) by removing turf and weeds and improving the soil. And then tuck in a few favorite herbs and veggies. A trellis or tomato cage will increase your crop capacity by adding vertical space. Learn more about square foot gardening at squarefootgardening.org.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">Almost any garden hobby can be practiced in a pocket garden. Do you love creating fairy gardens? Collecting succulents? Cultivating exotic tropicals? Creating floral bouquets? The possibilities are limitless while your commitment is limited. If your interest wanes, the space is easily converted to some other type of gardening space.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p class=\"\">On the contrary, if space is not an issue, a pocket prairie can be rewarding. It is an area devoted to native prairie plants, such as grasses and wildflowers. The \u201cpocket\u201d is a large area that is integrated into a bigger space, such as a large backyard.
