Custom says to rake up my many leaves before winter.  Some people now say it is better to leave them on the lawn.  Which is right?

Hi Lila,

That is a great question, which doesn't have one answer. We do have some information on "Using Leaves in the Landscape" that can help you decide on the best answer for you and your yard.

Here is another article on "Making Good Use of Fall Leaves" to give you more ideas.

Let us know if you need any more information,
