Should I rake up the leaves in my garden and put in compost or just leave them on the ground and put the cedar mulch over them? |

We mow ours & leave them on the lawn. You can't tell they were there & the mulch is good. Patty |

Yes, I do that on my lawn as well. These leaves are in the flower garden and makes that area look messy. I normally apply mulch in the winter to protect the plants but was afraid that putting the mulch on top of the uncomposted leaves would not be good. |

The leaves in the flower bed will break down to mulch eventually. Or compost, I guess. I don't think it will hurt to mulch over the leaves. Patty |

I always use my mulching mower to grind ALL my yard debris as long as it is not too large. This includes all my annuals and perennials that I cut back and pull out of my gardens. Puts lots of organic material and nutrients back into my yard. I cover the leaves in my beds with fresh shredded mulch each fall and spring. |
