| Hi I usually collect leaves in bags, save them over the winter and then put them down all around my perennials. I was thinking of putting them down in the fall does anyone have any experience doing it that way. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

| I recommend putting them down in the fall before winter. I go as far as shredding them and placing them around my bulb gardens, asparagus, strawberries. I also til them into my vegetable garden beds. Maple leaves are a very good mulch. You may want to shred and pile them up into a compost area and they become deep dark rich soil in the spring. |

| My hubby shreds them with the mower and piles them on the flower beds. I leave them there in the spring and the decompose into the soil. By mid summer they are all gone. Danni |
