Got Yard Waste? 5 Things To Do!
Happy Friday my friends! The time has officially come here in my hometown where everyone, everywhere is bundling up, putting on gloves, and grabbing their rakes. Leaves are falling like they have a date with the Earth and the rest of us are frantically trying to fill up our giant pumpkin garbage sacks to see the last sliver of green in our lawns. Put the pumpkin bag down because I just found 5 MORE ideas that you can use this year to deal with your yard waste and put it to good use.
As always, head over and check out the full article, but for your browsing pleasure I’ve compiled the 5 things right here. Have an amazing Friday, an even more amazing weekend, and check back Monday Morning bright and early for your latest and greatest ways of keeping Your life green!
1. Stuff a scarecrow. The fundamental ingredients for making a scarecrow to adorn your yard or front porch can be found in your house. Old clothes and fallen leaves are all you will need to create that autumn ornament.
2. Leave them where they lay. that may be an unpopular choice for some neighborhoods but
decomposing leaves add nutrients to the soil. You can lessen the carpeted lawn look and help your grass by mowing and chopping the leaves up into little bits. that will additionally aid in decomposition.
3. Mulch. Attaching a bag to your mower will gather shredded leaves which can soon after be deposited around your perennials to enrich the soil and slow water evaporation.
4. Fun. Other than free candy at Halloween, is there anything better about fall than jumping in a giant pile of leaves. Spend an afternoon outside with the kids. When you are done jumping, bribe them to rake the leaves up for you.
5. Compost. Whether you are disassembling the scarecrow or looking for a way to deal with your first leaf pile, composting is a great option for dealing with an excess of foliage.
There you go! Have a great weekend!
