Compost
Utilize excess Tī Kōuka leaves by placing them into the bottom of a compost pile. This method not only cuts down on waste, but also turns it into nutrient-packed compost that can boost soil health and keep your garden thriving. See this video from Nelson City Council to get started on your composting journey!
Mulch
Tī Kōuka leaves are great for mulching. Scatter them around your plants to keep the soil moist, stop those pesky weeds, and as they break down, they’ll provide nutrients to existing plants. It’s an easy way to use what you’ve got without having to order in a trailer load of mulch from the hardware store. Start learning from this video by ehowhome on how leaves can be made into mulch.
