Adair gardeners can use your leaves - please call Wendy Butler Burt writes: Yes, Fall is in the air and leaves are falling all over Adair County. And when you rake and bag those leaves (and pine needles), remember that avid gardeners would be happy to take them off your hands! We use leaves for mulch. We use leaves as soil conditioner. We use leaves anywhere and everywhere in our flower and vegetable gardens. So, if you'd rather that your leaves (no Black Walnut leaves) are used in gardens rather than sent to a landfill, please call Wendy Butler Burt at 270-378-3197 and leave your name and contact information. --Wendy Butler BurtComments re photo 81327 Fall is in the air and on the wet streets of Columbia 2018-11-02 08:45:05 | Comments | Printable version
