Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi- I haven't recieved much mail from the club ltely - is the system slow or are you all just busy busy busy?  I haven't resolved the compost dilma with the roaches - except to move it into the sun and cook it for a while- if they ain't gone soon- I'm bagging the whole mess up and pitching it.
I have started another pile-question- I have oak leaves coming out my ears and know that they are hard to break down-so weed eat them in a garbage can before adding them to the compost- but wondered if anyone knew how to make leave mold and if they would be good for that or any other ways to use them. I have used crushed leaves for mulch in parts of my gardens- slugs hate them- but they are very acid, fly away easy and mat down preventing water from going thru  if you don't stir them up regularly. Suggestions?  Things are starting to slow down a bit in the garden and I am not sure I am going to do a fall planting other than to use the beds to "hold " fledgling perinial that I can transplant next spring. The garden area is very swampy and low in the winter and have not yet made good rock paths to get me over and around that garden without a boat.! I can't see going out to pick brocolli in hip boots.What is goiing on in your gardens?-Teri
