also adds to the value of your home. Unfortunately, come fall, you can start to resent them. Those big trees drop tons of leaves and that means extra work, hassle, and lost time.
It is important to remove leaves and debris from your lawn prior to winter as they will cause bare spots when spring arrives. In addition, removing the falling leaves from the lawn allows your lawn to absorb the winter sunlight. But how can you save yourself the hassle of constantly raking leaves?
A recent study done at Michigan State University shows that you can forget about raking, blowing, and bagging leaves. Instead, just mulch them with your lawn mower it’ll save you work, improve your soil, and add nutrients. Since you should be mowing your lawn in the fall anyway, this will save you time and effort that can be spent enjoying your yard. Of course, if your lawn has many large trees causing a thick layer of leaves, some may need to be removed to ensure that the mulched leaves work their way down to the soil level.
