We usually compost our leaves

It appears we're not raking leaves this year either. Unfortunately we have a thick layer of leaves! Hopefully another way to compost leaves is to allow the kids to rake them into a huge pile and then jump in them over and over. However, that leaves a huge pile of leaves on a smallish spot of lawn but then the wind blows and the neighbor gets them. Sorry! (It's also hard to scoop dog poop when they are covered by the same color leaves.) Sigh.

I never rake leaves

It's too wet here this weekend to do either, but I just mulch them with my riding mower equipped with a mulching kit (exit hole closed & mulching blade used to both cut and mulch).
