12 Oct What to do with fall leaves?
The beautiful fall colors are finally here and leaves will soon start to fall. In opposition to popular belief, it is always better to leave dead leaves on your yard, this helps small animals and produces a natural fertilizer for your lawn. On the other hand, too many leaves can suffocate your lawn. You can therefore use the surplus to put it in your flower beds, compost, mulch or try our DIY ideas below!
