if you have snakes,  you won't have any rodents...

I like my yard clean, and no weeds.  but running over the leaves and mulching them up is a fine practice.

I've never bagged leaves for the trash guys to pick up.  [/quote]

I don't understand people who bag up their leaves or blow them out to the curb to be picked up. They're throwing away mulch that can greatly improve their soil- and paying someone to take it away. (Not to mention the people who line ten bags of leaves up along the curb out in the street on Saturday when they won't be picked up until Wednesday- and do this three weeks in a row.)

It takes slightly more work to mow over your leaves, but it is so much better for your lawn and the environment. If you really have a lot of leaves, you can use the bagger on your lawn mower and then dump the leaves on your beds. The cut up leaves will form a nice mulch that will protect the roots of your plants for the winter and then will decompose over the spring and summer to improve your soil.

There is no good reason to be having leaves hauled away from your home.
