I have a very small garden and there's a semi-mature willow in nextdoor's garden and at the beginning of the autumn I was thinking that i was going to have to start sweeping the leaves up and then tried to remember how I had achieved this last year (only my second autumn in the place) and realised I hadn't bothered as I didn't have a rake at the time and so I didn't bother this time either and its very interesting to note that athough there are leaves on the patio bit and at the very edge by the fence, there are almost none on the lawn.... The worms must have had them all!! Very efficent
