So its Day 3 and we are cleaning out our gutters of leaf litter! This helps our local environment and nearby waterways such as the Cattai Creek by reducing the number of nutrients such as Phosphorus and Nitrogen that end up overwhelming our waterways.
Instead of chucking out the leaf litter, I put it in my compost bin, using its nutrients for my garden rather than contributing to algae blooms and aquatic weeds to our waterways.
