Lawn Stuff: I Still Don’t Bag Leaves

Remember back in 2022 when I Blogged that I don’t bag leaves? Well, here we are 3 years later and my non-bagging mulch-the-leaves 100% techniqiue is better than ever.

I don’t bag leaves.

I live in a neighborhood with huge trees and if I bagged my leaves it would take me multiple weekends and 20 to 30 bags.

But I don’t bag leaves.

I mulch them. Right into the lawn. I clip down bushes and daylilies and tall grasses, spread them across my lawn, and then mulch those into my lawn, too.

It takes longer and sometimes I employ my leaf blower to blow around the churned up leaves and I mow east-to-west, then criss-cross-mow north to south. Then leaf blow my lawn and flower beds again and re-mow east-to-west, but I’m convinced it’s still less time and effort than raking and bagging and all that organic matter becomes soil over the winter.

I sleep better at night knowing my soil is so full of mulched up leaves and stems and grass.

Life is full of simple pleasures. I have my “things” and a perfectly maintained, nice-to-look-at, non-watered, weed-free lawn is one of my passions.

Be known for something, people. I wanna be known for my passionate mulching.
