Leaving leaves on your lawn can help your garden and the environment.
Raking leaves is a quintessential fall activity, but some experts advise leaving the leaves instead. Leaving the leaves can help your lawn and reduce greenhouse gasses, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Yard trimmings, which include leaves, created about 35.4 million tons of waste in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Yard trimmings account for about 12.1% of municipal solid waste.
Leaf litter is also a food source for animals and used as nest material, according to the National Wildlife Federation.The animals increase pollination in your garden. They also can help keep pests down. Composting and mulching your leaves Experts advise using a lawn mower to chop up leaves where they fall. This will help them break down faster. The mulched leaves can be moved to vegetable or flower garden beds. The mulch can also be placed around trees.
