Fall leaves make good FREE mulch

There is an easy way to make a great product from the leaves that fall in the autumn months.

I do not know about you, but every fall when I am blowing leaves. I always think there are a lot of leaves, what am, or can, I do will all these leaves.

A very viable solution is to grid them up and use them as mulch for your flower beds. It is simple to do and can save you a little money. I do not know about you, but money comes hard but sweat equity comes relatively cheap. The older I get the more expensive the sweat gets.

It is extremely simple. All you need is a blower that also has a vacuum. Be careful because they all do not. You can pick up a relatively cheap one at your local home improvements store. The electric ones are very cheap, but the gas ones can get pretty expensive. Put it this way, if you get one of the electric ones, it will pay for itself after just one mulching. Not bad!

If there is just a small amount of leaves on the ground, do not worry about sucking them up that is more work that its worth. Just mow as normal and the lawnmower will grind them up very fine and blow them in to the grass. Then you have a natural fertilizer.

All this for you lawn and you only bought a leaf blower, or sucker how ever you want to look at it.
