Hunt County Master Gardener Wayne Bowman offers his advice on managing the leaves that have started accumulating on lawns. Wayne says leaves should be raked from lawns to avoid mold and fungus from growing on grass. But it is better to use the leaves for mulch in gardens and flower beds than bagging the leaves and sending them to the landfill.
