I have a stumpery next to my backyard pond which is part of a wide border I'm creating around my suburban property where I leave things as natural as I can.
This is where I'm dumping my wild rose branches, some leaves and my Hallowee'en pumpkin etc. This year I've also created a little brushpile in another corner.

"Leave Leaves Alone" is a great finish to my season which began with "No Mow May".
I was left with just 8 bags of leaves for our city's compost, & the rest were mowed & left to decompose on the ground, excepting one wide strip that I left around 1 outside border.
I have to pick up some leaves because I have 3 large Maple trees whose leaves create a matted carpet, in addition to 2 crab apples & 1 horse chestnut.

"Leave Leaves Alone" is Autumn's response to "No Mow May".
This Autumn I was able to leave almost all my mowed leaves on the ground, and I also left a nice wide border of unmowed leaves in a wide band around the edge of my property.
