If no scientific study available, which is better in your experience or opinion? Raking all the leaves off the lawn before winter, or leaving the leaves where they fell, and under a blanket of snow (see sig for location). If left on the lawn where they fell, would the nutrients be better released by melting snow, and also provide a smidgen of insulation for the ground? -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeroes after @ in addition to those who point out that nonshredded leaves will smother the lawn, it's not true that you need to protect the grass from the cold; the other way around. the grass is more tolerant to the cold than a lot of weeds and insect pests; it's usually recommended you give the lawn it's shortest haircut just before winter, compared to summer when you leave it long to keep it cool. doing the lawn with a good mulching mower will process the leaves nicely so they decay quickly and feed the lawn. |
