Do You Bother to Rake Your Leaves?

Or do you just run over them with a lawn mower and chop them up?

I have a 1000 sq ft allotment garden and I rake and collected about a hundred bags of leaves each year. Combine that with kitchen scraps and the summer grass clippings and my soil is getting awesome.

roarke09	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 4:34PM leaves are an excellent mulch/fertilizer. Rake them around the trees, into your garden or flower beds. Mulching makes them decompose faster so either way is fine. bagging or burning is such a waste of natural soil nutrients. I have to go into town or rake off the mountain road to get mine, because all of my trees are conifers. Rated: +1Vote for this!
DOLPHINTRACEY	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 4:35PM I don't think there is any point in raking the leaves, because the wind is only going to flow them back, just a waste of time and effort. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Shuhak	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 5:34PM I rake them, put them through my shredder and then scatter them over my garden. It’s the best fertilizer out there and it’s free. Sadly, many of my oak trees have blown over in recent storms (one onto my house) so leaves are few and far between anymore. Rated: +1Vote for this!
