Keep leaves from smothering the lawn
Mulch-mowing chopped leaves back into the turf is free organic matter. Thick layers need raking into beds or compost. Do not let them sit through freeze-thaw.
Steps
- Mow dry leaves on a high deck to chop them.
- If you still see turf underneath, you are done.
- Rake the rest into beds as a thin mulch, or compost them.
Tips
- Several light passes beat one heroic Saturday in November.
