Putting Dead Leaves to Use
Most of us who have trees are bound to encounter the problem of falling dried leaves after some time. While some would rake them up to a side, how to get rid of them is really a pain. Normally, burning them would be the traditional old use but that has been banned for harmful results.
People bag them and put them beside garbage cans for pick up each time the garbage man collects. However, this has been banned as well.
So what can you do with these dreaded dried leaves? Here are some ideas
1. Plant Winter Covers. Rather than worry or leave them to cover useless things, you may want to consider using them as plant covers to protect flowerbeds. Just make sure that they fit and are not oversized from large leafed trees.
2. Use them as leaf mold. Pile them in an out-of-the-way corner or in a bin made of wood snow fencing or hog wire, and dampen them if necessary. Over a few seasons, they will decompose into a substance the color and texture of crumbled brownies.
