In case you’ve been putting off raking your leaves as we hit the middle of fall. The Nature Conservancy of Canada have some good news – don’t bother raking them.
Leaving the leaves alone is actually great for the environment. From NCC, when the leaves break down into the ground it provides nutrients for both the soil and grass.
They added a thin layer of leaves can improve health of gardens and lawns so being lazy on your fall lawn maintenance is a good thing.
