“Love ’Em and Leave ’Em”

From Commonwealth Magazine –

Some towns are telling their residents to mow over their leaves rather than bag them, which is considered better for lawns and less costly for the towns, the New York Times reports.

Medfield has a big composting operation behind the Transfer Station.

Mulching leaves has worked well for me since getting the mulching mower two years ago, plus its way easier and faster for me to boot.  I have also stopped using chemicals on the lawn, except to kill the grubs when they appear, and the lawn seems to have adjusted to its new chemical and fertilizer free regime.
