Use Leaves as a Resource!

The fall season is getting closer! As you start to see the leaves change and eventually cover your yard, don't forget that they can be used as a resource.

Mulching leaves can be a great way to take advantage of all the nutrients in leaves. This can be done by simply mowing them along with your grass and allowing the resulting material to work its way into the lawn. You can also collect the mulched leaves with your bag attachment on your lawn mower and either cover your flower beds and garden or store them in a compost bin for use next year.
