Fall leaves!
Posted by John Penton on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 at 3:46pm.A recent Michigan State University study has found that mulching leaves into established turfgrass as a leaf litter disposal method will result in an increased spring green up and contribute to the overall reduction of the common dandelion population.
What does this mean for you? It means that it is not necessary to bag up and dispose of all the leaves on your lawn. These leaves are beneficial for the overall health of the lawn.
An effective method would be to continue mowing and mulching the leaves back into the lawn through the fall. It's only necessary to remove them if accumulations are heavy. By mulching the leaves back into the lawn you are benefiting the turf and reducing unnecessary landfill waste.
