Sir, – Noel Shanaghy’s suggestion of using gathered-up leaves as leaf mould (Letters, December 4th) reminds me of a light-hearted book on gardening that my father owned many years ago. The section on mulching began with the words “Leaf-mould your garden last year”. It never ceased to amuse him. – Yours, etc,
