Leaf clean-up doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. Options include:
Use a mulching lawnmower to break down significant accumulations of leaves on your grass. You may need to repeat the process.
Rake your leaves into your beds and borders, then wait until spring to clean them up.
Add leaves to a compost pile, either raking by hand or using your lawnmower’s bagging attachment.
Of course, hand-powered tools are a more environmentally-friendly choice than gas-powered equipment, so you may prefer to use a rake instead of a lawnmower or leaf blower.
