If you are a gardener and desire a rich carbon and nitrogen compost them mix leaves with your grass clippings. You can also use the leaf matter as a natural mulch for your garden beds or around your shrubs and trees.
When using the leaves as a mulch you will find that the leaves will prevent weed grown and when the decompose the soil will be enriched. Its best to apply a thin layer of leaf mulch rather than a thick layer because if the leaves are too heavy they will block the water from getting to your soil.
Feed your autumn / winter season lawn with leaves. Mow over the fallen leaves so that the leaves are cut into small pieces. Leave the shredded leaf matter on your lawn and when it breaks down it will provide a natural feed for your grass.
Have fun with your autumn leaves by raking them into a big
pile then play with kids or grandkids by running and jumping into the pile of
leaves. It’s a fun thing to do during
the autumn season.
