| If I keep dumping leaves in great numbers on my veggie garden every Fall and do not add any other kind of compostable material will I end up with an imbalance in pH or any other kind of problem?
Thanks, Ann |

| Read up on leaf mold. I think straight leaves make good compost, just takes a long time. |

| I have added fairly large amounts of leaves, as mulch, to my planting beds for many years now and the only thing I have seen is that the soil pH went for 5.7 to 1.2 where it has stayed for a number of years. |
