FALLING LEAVES

The leaves are falling and covering the grounds around the Arboretum. What do we do with all the leaves? COMPOST!!!! Why rake and have them hauled away to the landfill? You can put them in a pile as they are, run over them with the lawn mower to chop them up, or feed them through a leaf shredder. All methods will result in a free soil amendment.
