Halt Purchasing Mulch! Do This Instead

The No-cost Mulch in Your Yard

Every autumn, homeowners spend weekends raking and bagging leaves, paying the city to haul them away. Then, in the spring, they spend hundreds of dollars Purchasing bagged wood mulch. Halt this cycle!

Leaf Mold: Nature's Ideal Mulch

Fallen leaves are packed with the exact nutrients Your trees and shrubs need. Instead of bagging them, run Your Grass Cutter over them a few times to chop them into fine pieces.

Ways to Utilize It

Spread this shredded leaf mulch 2-3 inches thick around Your flower beds, trees, and shrubs. Over the winter and spring, it breaks down into a rich, dark humus called leaf mold.
