Do any of you use a "mulching-mower"? I usually have a lawn service clean our property of leaves (I'm in PA with a good bit of land, so lots of leaves), however, my wife has been reading about the ecological advantages of mulching not bagging up (don't know what happens after that?) leaves. I'm totally fine with this solution, but don't want to spend weekends fruitlessly mowing a wet lawn and killing the grass, etc.
I do, and also have a leaf vacuum/mulcher for plant beds etc.
It works great, the lawn loves it. You just have to mulch fine enough that it doesn't sit on top of the grass, which isn't too hard.
Only have 1/3 acre though. Would be a harder sell if I had more land.
