Hi, Terri. I don’t know the precise geography/logistics but generally that sounds like a job for a bulk delivery of compost and some hours of loading/emptying a wheelbarrow. Generally local nurseries know who delivers bulk local finished compost, and you pay per cubic yard…but then you do the transport of it for the last leg, from wherever the truck can dump it as close as possible to then wheel it into the garden proper, to the beds.

In NYC where I use to live, this was a big issue and took a lot of labor — and even people in brownstone apartments with the ground floor and a back garden of their own had to do the same — but often they had to transport it (and all their plants) through their apartment! The buildings were often side by side or had fences between so not even a wheelbarrow path was possible. That meant sometimes resorting to bagged compost (more expensive and not local).

Hi, Ola. I don’t use chemicals like Miracle-Gro in my gardens, but rather all-natural organic fertilizer if any is needed. As for the leaves, if you can chop them once they dry you could use them as mulch — I do that on my vegetable raised beds. Even better is piling them up once chopped to age a bit and become like crumbly leaf mold first, but that takes some time.
