plOTTing and planting: mulching the leaves

Photobucket

This will probably be our last edition of "plOTTing and planting" for the year since fall is here and winter is quickly approaching.  The garden is done for the year, the bulbs are planted and the trees are dropping their leaves. 

This brings about a dilemma.....to rake or blow or mulch all those leaves that in the yard.  Well I can tell you that mulching in the answer for our yard.  We do this by mowing the leaves that fall on the yard with the lawn mower.  Not only is it a lot easier and less time consuming it also returns essential nutrients to the soil. 
 These are some pictures showing the leaves in our yard and what the yard looks like after the leaves were mulched.

Great job! I did some yard work last week. I'm sharing it on Tuesday. I was sore for 3 days!!! My weed pile was about 10' wide and 4' deep...how embarrassing!
