'Leave the Leaves' Movement for Fall Foliage

Ok. Finally, in recent years, there has been a movement during the fall to leave the leaves rather than breaking up, falling leaves and putting them in garbage bags to send to a landfill. It's been suggested that you leave the leave so that they can naturally decompose over the winter while leaving them on your lawn can be that for the grass because if they pile up, that can cause fungus to grow and block light and moisture from the soil. So experts recommend that you take the leaves and spread them across garden beds so that they can be used as a natural fertilizer. Very good to know. I completely agree with that. Don't add more to the landfill.
