I arrived just before lunch with a trailer containing 4 half filled builder's bags of leaves from a neighbour. It took a great deal of effort to drag them to the stack of similar bags awaiting room in my leafmould bins but eventually I got them stacked on top.
I really do need an old lawnmower to shred the leaves up to speed up composting and reduce the volume!


I fitted in 11 tubers leaving 3 to plant in containers at home.

The onion bed nice and clear of weeds - and the path swept clean. The boards helped me navigate between the rows without compressing the soil with my feet.
