Environmentally Friendly Ways To Repurpose Your Fall Leaves

Many of us never know what to do with our pile of fall leaves. Here are some environmentally-friendly ways to dispose of them! 

Mulch Your Leaves

Mulch your leaves to use as a fertilizer for your lawn and garden.

Leaves decompose much faster when they are broken up. Ground up your leaves to create a fertilizing mulch that you can spread across your garden and lawn. 

Add To Your Compost

Add leaves to your compost to create rich garden soil.

Leaves are a great ingredient to add to your compost. With the amount of carbon that leaves produce to break down your food scraps, you will have rich, garden-ready compost in no time!

Turn Debris Into Decoration

Use your fall leaves to use for your DIY craft projects and create decorations.

Preserve the beauty and color of your fall leaves by using them for DIY craft projects. Simply iron your leaves between two sheets of wax paper. Cut out and use for all of your fall crafts!

Keep Your Garden Warm

Keep your garden warm by insulating with fall leaves.

Your plants will stay warm through the winter just by stuffing leaves around each plant. Simply create a circle made of wire fencing around individual plants and fill with leaves.
