Turning leaves into mulch good solution

Saturday November 7, 2009
 

Got leaves?

My father lived in Urbana and had lot of fall leaves. He raked them up and hauled them away. It's a big job for everyone.

In his last years, he found the remedy: get on your mower and mow the dry leaves. If you mow backwards, you mulch a large percentage of them into the ground.
