Also, when you want to remove them (partially or in spring), just mow them and leave the mulch. Easiest cleanup, good for the plants and wildlife
I tried this for the first time this year. I was surprised how clean it looked afterwards, the leaf mulch mostly disappears into the grass.
LEZERD!!
I mowed and bagged all the leaves in my backyard and put them in my chickens run. They loved it...
The leaves in the front yard got blown to the "woods" between my neighbor and I.
After I mowed up most the leaves in the back, I did another pass with a lower deck setting to get most the pine needles/cones...those went in the woods (the girls don't like too many needles)...then blew what needles/cones/dog poop remained into a pile, mowed that up (dumped in woods).
Whatever was left got blown under the deck.
Did I do good?
