I love magnolias, but.........

for you magnolia leaf haters, the leaves can make for great mulch. The trick is to round them up, place them in large trash can filled about one qrt to half way. Get out your weed whacker and run it inside the trash can, mulching the leaves.

If you place the chopped leaves as mulch in your beds, you will not have to worry about weeds growing up through the leaves into your garden. ;-)

EDIT: Always wear safety equipment, and use a metal trash can so that the weed whacker string will not chop you RubberMaid.

We would play with these when we were little- stand on a high deck (or climb a tree), and drop the dried out maple seed pods- watch 'em spin down to the ground. Oh good times! When kids were easily amused!:roll:

Me too! The good old days when most things were not battery operated or techincal. That must be why we are so wonderful!
