Did you know that burning leaves is banned or restricted in most states? With the change in season upon us, what are you supposed to do with those pesky leaves in your yard?
There is a green alternative to burning leaves! Use them as mulch for your lawn and garden! Shredded leaves make good mulch for garden beds and will gradually turn into compost. Shred leaves with a mulching mower and cover flower beds and soil for the winter. The leaves will eventually turn to compost and will enrich your soil for the spring season.
So before burning those leaves this fall, please be sure to check state regulations where you live, and know that there is a green alternative.
