My yard is full of trees.  Big ones.  Maple and oaks.  My maples are beautiful in the Fall.  However, big trees equals lots of leaves.  I live in a subdivision and getting rid of them can be a real hassle.  I don't have woods to dump them in.  I would have to pay for disposal bags or find some other way to remove them from my property.  I would say a lot people are in this situation.  Well, there a very easy solution.  Mulch your leaves into the ground.  The more you mow the smaller pieces of leaves become.  Research is very clear in that mulching leaves instead of picking them up is helpful in building your soil and decreasing weeds.
