Fall Leaves

Are the fall leaves at your house really cleaned up in fall?

or do they stay on the ground until spring?

It is a dreaded job, but at least I have a good excuse today after several days of drizzle and rain!

 

Re: Fall Leaves

  • Mine are all small leaves (apple, mulberry, Japanese maple), so I let them compost in place. If I had an oak tree I'd be raking. Well, if I had a lawn to worry about. Which I don't.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • I go over them with my lawnmower once a week until all the leaves have fallen and are mulched into my lawn.

  • I use some of the leaves as cover for my garlics over the winter but mostly it gets raked up (though there are still some on the ground). We have a lot of very large trees on our property so we have no choice.

  • The ones that land on the grass get raked, the walkway get swept and the garden stay put.
