When raking your leaves, instead of putting them out to the road for pick up --- Put them in large trash bags, in spring you have ready made compost, use in your veggie or flower garden. also can be used to "refresh last years soil" Be sure to poke a couple of holes around the bag for air circulation. I never throw away valuable leaves, put them on or in you compost pile or compost maker. You can rake them in piles, or if you have a shredder on your mower, shred the piles with your push mower, or just leave the shredded leaves that you mulch with your mower on the lawn, gives great nutrients for you lawn over winter. Do not throw away, Natures finest, use them to cover your plants in ground, use them to protect your roses over winter.
