Fall is one of Colorado’s most beautiful seasons, but the mess of leaves left behind can cause some frustration for homeowners who aren’t sure what to do with them. Using leaves in your garden and around your yard can be beneficial to your plants and soil (did you know that in a forest, trees absorb more than half of their nutrients from fallen leaves?), and raking and bagging leaves can be useful around your outbuildings!
