The shed leaves definitely adds to your hassle as you have to rake them all day long! Wish you had a better idea of what to do with them other than bonfire them to dust? Well, we got them all!

Compost And Mulch-

Compost is the right balance between green, ripe and wet materials. The clipping of grass and dried leaves make perfect compost materials for creating the ideal compost for your plants. You can shred them with a mower and keep them for the spring compost.

Fall Decor-

You must have been to homes where they have used leaves as the source of art to decorate their rooms. One of the easiest is to collect some lovely shaped leaves and frame them up in cute frames. Another way to about it is to dip them in paint and use it as a stamp to add an artistic touch to your cushions and bed covers. You can also make Christmas cards and save them for winters to send your loved ones.

The Perpetual Family Tree-

Instead of cutting papers to make the leaves of the family tree, you can put dried leaves to the test! Pick some really pretty shaped leaves and set them inside a book to keep it flat. Paste a picture of your family member and paste it on the bulletin board to make it the perfect decoration for your family reunion.

Soil Insulators-

If you live in a frigid zone, you will understand the worry of your plants getting frostbite. Having hay and fallen leaves act as the perfect materials to keep your soil insulated and safe from the snow covers and frost sheets. You can even add fertilizers and lay a thick layer of leaves on the ground to have it ready for spring.

The Perfect Fuel To Your Fireplace-

Why invest in wood for keeping your room warm when you can get the leaves from your garden ready to be the reliable fuel for you. Make sure they are perfectly sundried and arranged for adding to the fireplace.
