Abstract/Contents:Discusses the disposing of leaves during the fall season. Discusses an experiment performed at Purdue University to examine mulches made from dead leaves, in which the results stated that "even the high rate of tree leaves had no effect on turf visual quality, color or growth." Also discusses the advantages of less cost and less time spent hauling leaves when leaves are mulched.
