IS IT OK TO USE RAKED UP LEAVES AND GRASS AS MULCH?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru recommended some things that we should do in our garden before “Old Man Winter” sets in. Here are a couple things that one should consider. Lynn said that you should set your mower down a notch and cut it a little bit shorter than normal and of course remove all the grass clippings!
Lynn also mentioned that you need to rake up those leaves before winter sets in. Now you can use the grass clippings and the leaves that you’re removing from your lawn in other parts of your yard as mulch UNLESS you’ve used a fertilizer this summer with a weed killer in it! Listen to Lynn’s tip and find out why you shouldn’t use grass clippings and raked up leaves on certain plant beds.
