As the seasons change and you begin to reduce your sprinkler run time, consider these tips to help recycle valuable organic matter and nutrients back into the soil and save water.
Try these 3 easy ways to recycle yard waste:
- Add leaves to your compost pile. Keep fallen leaves and other yard waste in your landscape.
- Rake shredded leaves into your landscape and garden beds as mulch. Mulch helps keep soil cool and damp and prevents weed growth.
- Use a mulching lawn mower which will mulch leaves and grass clippings directly into your lawn.
