3) To Bag Leaves or leave the Leaves? That is the question.
When leaves start to drop in the fall, it could take weeks for the trees to be completely bare. Many people will rake and bag the leaves every week. But to ‘leave’ the leaves on the ground until the tree is bare is beneficial in most situations. Experts recommend leaving the leaves on the ground.
Mainly because the leaves are organic matter and have trace minerals that are beneficial for lawns and your soil.
What I typically do is use my mulching mower and grind the leaves when there is a good layer of fallen leaves and before there is too much.
Hi, Alex Kuritz here. Growing up I remember that my family had one of the best lawns in the neighborhood. Richly green and lush. I did a lot as I grew up in terms of caring and tending for not only my family’s lawn but also my neighbors. I can say I have years of experience, and I am here to share it with you.
