Lawn & Garden (ARA) - As Mother Nature adorns the trees in your yard with riotous reds, vibrant yellows and exotic oranges, you can easily get swept up in the romance of the season - until those leaves turn brown, drop from the branches and litter your lawn. Then you start to think of the hours of backbreaking raking work ahead of you.
This autumn, why not try working with Mother Nature by mulching those leaves instead of raking, bagging and condemning them to a landfill? Leaf mulching is a time-saving, environmentally friendly way to deal with fallen leaves.
