Mulching leaves in spring?

Post by Jackpine » November 13th, 2017, 8:09 am

Due to the quick onset of winter it looks like I will have to bag any remaining leaves and put them on the garden for now. There is a good chance the snow will melt off tomorrow, but from past experience attempting to mulch wet leaves into the lawn doesn't work out well.

So the question is, are there any reasons NOT to store and mulch them in next spring?

No, other than they will be a wet single mess to deal with.

LOL yeah thought of that, but it shouldn't take long for them to dry once spread out on the lawn.
