Leaf Time

The trees are finally loosing their leaves. The redwood decided to shower us with needles en-masse on Saturday, the willows are now denuded. I have a new way of dealing with them - I am sure it is not the right thing to do, but it seems to work. I let the lawn get covered with leaves then set the mower at a high level, then mow them. The result is some nicely chopped leaves mixed with grass which should be really good for the compost. And the lawn looks better.
