Today we cleaned all the enormous
amounts of leaves up around the peepul tree for mulch and for compost. The place now has the feel of an English
country garden although as the photo shows it doesn’t look like it because
there isn’t enough green. The new green
leaves on the tree show better than yesterday’s picture.
I put up this picture on Facebook
and one respondent was worried that by taking all the leaves away we were starving
the tree. I think if we had the
opportunity to keep the area under the tree free of leaves we might. But in this hot weather we have fewer
volunteers and they have to do work on the beds rather than rake up
leaves. So I think the tree is safe.
