I’ve been hearing a lot lately about #leaveyourleaves. This time of year memes and videos are all over social media. But is leaving your leaves where they fall a good idea? Is this the best use of this precious resource?

I don’t think it is a good idea to leave your leaves, but I understand the sentiment behind the idea. The last thing we should be doing with our fall leaves is bagging them up and sending them to the landfill. But leaving them where they fall isn’t a good idea either and in this video, I give you 4 alternatives to sending your leaves to the landfill.
