Come on Joe, you say…I’ll bag as many as I can and just let the rest of them lie, not hurting anything, in fact that’s the way nature intended, right?
Oh my misguided friend…you sound like me, I thought the same thing. I got the leaves up the best I could, then ran out of time or couldn’t find anyone to help so I let them lay on my yard all Winter..
Here are just a few things that happened to my yard;
- Had dead spots on my lawn the size of a Buick which took a year to recover
- Got a dreadful case of mold that got on some my perenni..my perren…oh you know those flowers that come back year after year
- Leaves that were out all year are a lot harder to manage since they’re wet and smelly…& did I mention they had mold growing everywhere…
Remember, if you can’t see your lawn through a layer of leaves, neither can the sun. Finally, it’s a great breeding ground for slugs and all types of creepy crawlies..
I did mention the mold didn’t I..??
