[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mow your leaves. Bagging leaves is wasteful use of natural fertilizer and fills landfills, meaning they have to make more landfills near you and stink up the country. 
Mow when they are dry, as wet or damp leaves will now mulch properly. Don't use the mulching block on the grass chute either, as that just gums up the mower, but let them eject out the chute and mow the yard twice.
As far as pruning, buy some hand held pruners and some loppers for larger stuff. Plants are survivors, so trim them up.[/quote]

[b]Yes, please don't rake and bag your leaves.[/b]
You can just rake them into your flower beds to serve as mulch and habitat for beneficial insects over the winter.
Or mulch into lawn as PP describes.
And as you maintain or replace or add to your landscaping, please consider native-only varieties and grasses.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks. We won't bag our leaves -- our property abuts Wolf Trap woods so if we have more than we need for mulch we'll just drag them back there on a sheet. [/quote]
