Pick one up at our Sustainable Sunday booth on Oct. 30 in front of the Flatbush Food Coop, 1415 Cortelyou Road between 10 am and 2pm.

Leaf mold is dark, crumbly sweet-smelling soil — one of the very best things you can add to your garden! Leaf Mold improves the soil by retaining water and helping roots to get all the food and water and oxygen they need.
