Fertilize your Lawn with Leaves!

Are you tired of raking your leaves yet?

If so, consider mulching your latest batch of fallen leaves the next time you mow your lawn.

Mulching leaves is actually a great way to fertilize your lawn. The shredded leaves and grass clippings create a great combination of phosphorus and nitrogen, which acts as the fertilizer.
