Stop Tossing Fallen Leaves—How to Use Them to Improve Your Soil Naturally

Why is it bad to toss your Fall leaves?

  • Most residences use gas-powered equipment to quickly wrangle fallen leaves, which are harmful to people and the environment.
  • The noise generated from collecting leaves is a nuisance.
  • The amount of effort, cost, and waste generated by picking up leaves that naturally fall to the ground is absurd.
  • Mulching leaves will help the nutrients from the leaves sink into the soil. This process will improve the health and quality of the lawn.

Skip the landscaper chasing leaves around your yard and depriving it of important nutrients. Mulch them with a lawn mower and let nature do what it was meant to do!
