Or, just leave the fallen leaves alone
A number of readers, including BJ Schulenburg suggested not doing anything with leaves.
“Perhaps you should consider that fall leaves should not be picked up and put in the trash. They are full of beneficial wildlife in various stages of growth, particularly pollinators!” Schulenburg said.
Schulenburg added that mulch mowing, composting and leaving some leaves on your lawn is more beneficial to the environment.
