Manage Leaf/Yard Waste and Stumps at home
People can benefit from managing leaf and yard waste at home. Leaves, twigs, small branches, grass, and other yard debris can be managed with little effort. The resulting humus and organic material is beneficial for soil health and fertility and it can provide wildlife habitat, especially for shy birds.
Let leaves, sticks, stumps rot in a pile. Use leaves and wood chips to mulch a garden or insulate garlic or carrots until the spring thaw. You can mulch mow fallen leaves fertilize the lawn.
Dry leaves and grass are free sources of carbon or "browns" for your compost pile. These materials make compost happen faster. The ideal ratio is 1:3; 1 part "greens/wets" (food scraps, wet grass, manures) to 3 parts "browns" (straw, hay, dry leaves or grass, shredded paper/paper napkins, wood chips, wood shavings, etc.).
