Ocelot Spleens Aug 2022 5:02pm, 29 Aug 2022 34,576 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens I collect fallen leaves over the autumn, make leaf mold each year, and add that to the soil.

Ocelot Spleens Aug 2022 5:23pm, 29 Aug 2022 34,577 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens Garden. We have a few trees across the back. Yep. Black bag with holes. A little water if very dry. 6 months they're ready to go.
