Fall Leaves Make Great Mulch for Your Lawn –
Numismatists appreciate current rare coins. Although linked to museums and antiques, some attractive coins may be visible. Two rare dimes and a $19 million Bicentennial Quarter are secretly traded.
1. How to Mulch Leaves
Leaves break down and mulch grass when broken up. Most spring weeds are prevented by leaf mulching. Wait—it gets better. As leaves break down, they contribute nutrients to your lawn, allowing it to recuperate and bloom faster in spring with less fertilizer.
Set your lawn mower to its highest setting (without the bag) and run over autumn leaves twice to make mulch. This will shred them. (Unlike you, I prefer mowing leaves to raking!) Continue mowing leaves every two weeks until they fall. The speed at which they decompose will astound you.
Making leaf mulch for your yard is sustainable, organic, and easy gardening!
Leave the rake in the shed and grab your lawn mower as the temps drop and the first brightly colored leaves fall. Your grass will be healthier with less work.
