Should I Shred Fallen Leaves As Mulch?
Q: I live in a huge forest so controlling fall leaves is hard. Am I wrong to shred them with a mower and spread them around the property, some close to the house?
A: They should be at least a foot away from the house foundation to prevent termite access. Otherwise, mulch away!
